Unfortunately, I’m not sure the 49ers could be any happier with the way this draft has played out.
Let’s start with the team. San Fransisco had a woeful Super Bowl hangover (thanks in part to a league-leading 141.2 adjusted games lost due to injury) that just lost a plethora of role players in free agency in preparation for a Brock Purdy extension. The team did little to replace multiple losses across both the offensive and defensive lines, and question marks remain in the wide receiver room with Brandon Aiyuk’s injury and the loss of Deebo Samuel. With various stalwarts (Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Trent Williams) getting older, there are many directions this pick could go.
