49ers can sign 1 free agent to address key need while hurting an NFC West rival

Wide receiver or the defensive line have typically popped up as two of the San Francisco 49ers' most pressing needs this offseason, and neither presents a bad argument.
Should San Francisco pursue such an option via free agency, it can actually improve its own roster while hurting that of a chief NFC West rival.
So, it's no shock ESPN included him on the list of 50 best free agents heading into the offseason.
And while his name won't be quite as recognizable as some of the other names, he'd certainly be a major upgrade over what San Francisco has rostered now, Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha.
In doing so, they'd not only solve one of their own defensive shortcomings but also would ensure Seattle's defense takes a hit.
