The San Francisco 49ers figure to have several rookies contribute in Year 1 in different capacities. First-round pick Ricky Pearsall might not be needed as much in the early going now that Brandon Aiyuk has signed his extension. Second-rounder Renardo Green can be eased in if Isaac Yiadom can get back up to speed and stay healthy.
But after those two, the next couple of picks should see the field early and often. Third-rounder Dominick Puni has earned the starting right guard position.
The three fourth-rounders will all make a living on special teams. Isaac Guerendo, health provided, should get the first crack at kick returner.
