No substitute 4 strength.
It is a lot of money to invest in a receiver for a team that doesn't really need an elite one to get to the super bowl.
Boldin and Crabtree can both work the middle of the field as can Davis. Davis can also stretch the field. All 3 work well with the Niners run/playaction game. It would help the Niners a lot of AJ Jenkins can develop into the speedy 1st round WR that they expected him to become, but for a team that is built around defense and the running the ball, an elite WR is not necessary.
Look at the Steelers, and Ravens, for that matter. Two teams that built themselves around running the ball and playing hard nosed D that have been in playoff contention for pretty much a decade.
What the Niners need more, in my opinion, is a second tight end. Delanie Walker, even though he didn't have the best hands, came through with some huge plays last year that won games. With the amount of 2 TE sets the Niners run, a second TE is essential for Harbaugh. If you watched him coach at Stanford, the tight ends were always the biggest players in the passing game because the offense is built on running the ball and playaction.
