Ranking the 49ers top 5 needs in the draft

If you look at the 49ers roster right now, there isn’t a glaring hole at any one particular position. While they’ve done a solid job addressing any needs that existed via free agency, there is always room to improve and insulate depth in the present with an eye towards more prominent roles in the future.

Here are the five positions that will be the most important for the 49ers to address during the 2023 NFL Draft.

5. Wide Receiver

Players currently under contract: Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Danny Gray, Ray-Ray McCloud, Tay Martin, Dazz Newsome, Tyron Johnson

The 49ers are loaded at the top with two legitimate number one options in Samuel and Aiyuk, but beyond this season, there isn’t much proven depth under contract.
