The NFL Draft is finally here! So, the San Francisco 49ers will finally be infusing their roster with plenty of young talent. For a contender that is trying to remain an elite team despite the league’s hard salary cap, the Niners will need to consistently acquire impact talent via the draft and undrafted free agency to withstand departures as prominent players likely land contracts with other teams in free agency.
Of course, in this year’s draft, which is being held in Detroit, Michigan, the 49ers ongoing contract negotiations with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remain the biggest storyline surrounding the team.
