The 49ers’ Super Bowl-contending roster still needs reinforcements — even behind star-caliber players.
Trent Williams #71 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrates after an overtime win against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on January 1, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. SANTA CLARA – At minimum, 262 reasons exist to not overreact about the 49ers’ first-round pick Thursday in the NFL Draft.
Brock Purdy changed the draft game years ago. Specifically, his arrival with the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 draft. It showed that no one knows who might become a franchise’s most important player. Alas, in this boom-or-bust world, a first-round pick must become a full-time starter who merits a second contract to earn kudos. So much is weighted into who that subject will be.
Thus, the first-round pick should fulfill a need at a position. So could the other nine picks at the 49ers’ disposal. They have at least one in each round. Reminder, Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday, and, Rounds 4 through 7 are Saturday.
