The player ratings are based on the Draft Network predictive board as of today. This is not a full offseason plan including free agent signings, but I will make some assumptions about who stays and who goes.
The Niners don't have any glaring needs but here are the major changes to the roster that I can foresee. As of today, I think Armstead will leave for a huge payday after his breakout season and the Niners will not be able to afford him. Marquise Goodwin and Jerick McKinnon will be cut for salary cap purposes. Sanders, Kittle, DJ Jones and Buckner will be re-signed to extensions. That leaves the following needs to be addressed in the draft:
CB
Interior Offensive Line
S
LB
RB
WR
TE
Picks
Round 2 Pick 47 Paulson Adebo CB Stanford - long term depth to replace Uncle Sherm
Round 3 Pick 79 Lloyd Cushenberry IOL LSU - someone to eventually take over for Person or Richburg
Round 5 Pick 142 Tipa Galea'i OLB Utah State - stand up OLB/DE who can rush the passer or cover if necessary
Round 5 Pick 159 Mohammed Barry LB Nebraska - Physical LB who could be new SLB
Round 6 Pick 190 Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB LSU - toughness and the skillset to be a 3 down back
Round 7 Pick 194 Quintez Cephus WR Wisconsin - quick but not fast WR with a checkered past
Round 7 Pick 223 Jaron Bryant CB/S Fresno State - good size college CB who doesn't have the straight line speed for an NFL CB; move to safety
