The 49ers have acquired WR Anquan Boldin from the Ravens in exchange for a 6th-round pick. The cap-strapped Ravens wanted to keep Boldin, but not at the $6 million he was scheduled to make in 2013. San Francisco took advantage of the situation. They acquire a physical, veteran possession receiver for dirt cheap. Boldin has trouble separating at 32 years old, but he knows how to use his frame and still possesses some of the strongest hands in the game. He’ll be a nice complement to the younger, speedier Michael Crabtree. QB Colin Kaepernick now has a vast array of weapons at his disposal. His ceiling pushes even higher with the addition of Boldin. We’ll have to see what the Ravens plan to do at WR opposite Torrey Smith.
