I typically assess draft picks a bit different than most. I'm looking for snaps counts that will contribute this year and projections into the future based on the roles the player was drafted for. This tells me what I can expect for contributions this year and into the future (if things go well).

ER Drake Jackson - For 2022, the max you can expect is 44% of the snaps (Jordan Willis role). In reality, this could be closer to 33% in a nickel-rush role only given the grand number of other veteran pass rushers we already have on the roster. But the goal will be to grow into more of a Nick Bosa full time role (975 snaps). This is a significant addition with likely payoffs starting in 2023. But for 2022, expect 300-400 of the 1K snaps.
RB Tyrion Davis-Price - Kyle confirmed the 1-2 punch. This is his early game bulldozer (Tevin Coleman role) who softens up the defense mostly inside to give way to Mitchell outside as the game wears on. Therefore, you can consistently expect around 400 snaps and Mitchell, 450. This is a split starter role.
XWR Danny Gray - Kyle referenced this is his Travis Benjamin role. Lynch referenced Marquise Goodwin and confirmed the XWR position, like Goodwin. Like they both said, you'll see lots of clearing and ghost routes to get others open by stretching coverages as well as some 9 routes, in-breaking routes plus screens and I'm sure, some fly sweeps. His primary position will be the X but will also play in the slot because he's tough and can run block. He is the Aldrick Robinson role. Due to injury, Goodwin had to become a primary receiver and the most snaps he had was 770 snaps. This role, however, is really a 400-500 snap role when your starting X and Z are healthy. When you factor in Deebo at the Z, Ray Ray and Jennings in the slot and Aiyuk sharing snaps at the X, 400 of the 1K snaps would be a really nice year.
G Spencer Burford - This FO had a 3rd round grade on Burford and they are very high on him as a G and training as a C too. He's in real competition with Moore at RG. If he wins, that's a 1K snap position in the 4th round.
SCB Samuel Womack - 37 PBU's per Peters over 3 years. It sounds like he'll compete in the slot and has a chance to earn up to 800 snaps in a full time nickel/dime CB. This also would be amazing value in the 5th round.
G Nick Zakelj - Depth player. No strong path to significant snaps unless there are several injuries.
3T Kalia Davis (PUP) - Peters said his get-off is exactly like D.J. Jones. That could earn up to 650 snaps someday.
CB Tariq Castro-Fields - Depth player. No strong path to significant snaps unless there are several injuries.
QB Brock Purdy - Depth player. No strong path to significant snaps unless there are several injuries. Likely PS QB.

So, all in all, I'll mirror what Peters said. It's a depth draft with a couple difference makers that can really help this club. But that's unlikely to be this year. But all of the roles they earn to play this year will be important, nonetheless.

2022 UDFA's:
3T Kevin Atkins
SAM Jeremiah Gemmel
SAM Segun Olubi
CB/S Tayler Hawkins
CB Qwuantrezz Knight
S Leon O'Neal
T Sam Schlueter
C Jason Poe
C Dohnovan West
XWR Tay Martin
XWR Taysir Mack
TE Garrett Walston
RB Cyrus Habibi Likio
RB Jordan Mason

I don't anticipate any of these UDFA's making a contribution this year but keep your eye on West and Poe. If Alex Mack does retire, both could realistically compete with Brunskill/Brendel next year, once they have the offense and pass protecting sets down. I only say they could compete next year because of the complexity of the offense and because Kyle typically leans towards veterans there.

Don't discount O'Neal, he could make it, of all of them, I see West & O'Neal making it, if any do.

That's a great point. He certainly does have a path. I wonder if they'll risk him on the PS otherwise.

PS: Looking forward to debating those last few roster spots with you this year (b/c we'll agree on 49 of them ).

General team construction commentary:

Observations:

• Conscious decision to allow Tomlinson and Jones walk in FA, while not cutting Jimmy G.
• Restructured contracts allow for some FA buying power, but obviously a lot more would be available by jettisoning Jimmy.
• Big money expenditure for good corner with good coverage ability but not great ball skills.
• Dedicated money to ST contributor.

Insinuated Rationale:

• Aaron Banks and Javon Kinlaw will be the assumed replacements for the two big-time FA losses. I would expect both positions to be addressed in the draft, G/C early.
• The 49ers view Jimmy as an asset and are loathed to cut him outright. They'd rather lose FA buying power in order to maximize trade value. This line of thinking is boom/bust. They may end up getting a team to panic and send them a haul. They also could be stuck holding the bag and not using the money on a top line DE to pair with Bosa. The next deadline is obviously the draft. A top line FA signing would have more impact than a draft pick. This also insinuates that the 49ers are not going "all in" on this season, like the Chargers or Broncos or Rams etc. are doing. Keeping Jimmy into the offseason program (OTAs, TC, preseason) will create a toxic QB environment with heavy media scrutiny. Ultimately, that's an incredibly high price to pay for "competition in the QB room".
• I like the signing of Ward the more I learn about it, but there's no denying he's not a ball hawk (4 INTs in 4 years). We now have good outside CB depth with Ward, Moseley, and Thomas. But we don't have a turnover machine. We sort of had that with John Norman (FFs), but he was so awful at everything else it didn't matter. We still need something alongside Lenoir at slot. I think Moseley may rotate there, and in that case, we need another versatile CB to be both backups... paging Dontae Johnson, your annual 49er contract is waiting... I expect either/both a high draft pick SS or CB/slot.
• I don't know much of anything about Burks (LB), but it's telling that the organization prioritized signing him during the legal tampering time. They could have easily pushed ST signings into FA. I like that approach and the signal it sends that our ST was not acceptable last year.

NinerBuff's Thoughts on "What's Missing?":

• Our #1 need is a pass rusher who can consistently beat one-on-ones, and ideally a speed rusher (what we wanted Dee Ford to be). This is the only position remaining that could justify top dollar expenditure. A legit 10-sack guy on the other side of Bosa is the single most impactful move we can make in the offseason. Ebukam and Key are both good, Ebukam is making very good money and Key is a FA. Neither of them in my mind are good enough to strike fear into opposing offenses about WTF are we going to do in protection?!
• If Banks is penciled in as LG, then we need a RG, backup C (eventual Mack replacement), and swing T / utility O-linemen. I expect a cheap FA here, one of their high draft picks, and one of their later picks to be used.
• SS - unless we get Tartt back for a cheap deal (which remains a possibility), then we'll use a high draft pick for an envisioned starter here. May be the first pick me make.
• 4/5/6 WR. Specific needs: speed, good return ability. I expect one cheap FA, multiple draft picks (could be high pick if player is available, it fits Shanahan's style).
• Better competition at QB (assuming Jimmy is off the team going into offseason program), Sudfeld may be a future Shanahan coaching tree guy, but he's not good enough to win a random game in November if/when Trey gets banged up.

Post-draft reflection:

• C/G was addressed, albeit not early. I expect an open competition for all but LT (assuming Mack retires).
• Jimmy remains on the team. The question is whether he'll ever step foot in the building or is it just a waiting game until he passes a physical and gets cut. My previous comment about a toxic QB room remains if the Niners choose to keep Jimmy for any amount of practice.
• lol we did sign Dontae Johnson and added some depth at slot and outside. Ward and Moseley are presumed starters with Thomas as outside CB during nickel and dime and Moseley bumping inside.
• Love the Drake Jackson pick! Great value and heir to Dee Ford, as I mentioned above.
• They didn't spend high draft capital on CB/S/OL, but some solid developmental players. I expect the team to look at signing a SS before camp.
• Danny Gray provides great speed, something we were missing.
• QB Purdy will probably not make the 53, but could be a long-term backup.

Draft answered many, but not all the concerns. Major concerns at multiple OL positions, SS, and slot CB, unless they plan to run Moseley there. Also, backup QB (assuming Jimmy isn't on the roster week 1) is the weakest in the league.

Jimmy as trade bait can solve a lot of the remaining holes in the team, I suspect. As for Mack retiring, I'm sure his bride will have some say in that. I suspect she'll want just a bit more cash in the bank before too long and I think will persuade Mack to stick around at least one more year. I think the 49ers look good with him staying or leaving though with all the promising OLinemen they have on hand. If you look at rounds 1-4 being places where you get starters - Edge, RB, WR, and OLine were great picks (assuming they all contribute to this season as a starter or valuable backup). Personally, I think the first three picks were picked in part because of NC's injury thread. I really think they were looking at this season thinking, ok where are probably going to lose some players to injury this year that will hurt our run for Lombardi #6 and picked accordingly.

First crack at it.

That's a great point. He certainly does have a path. I wonder if they'll risk him on the PS otherwise.

PS: Looking forward to debating those last few roster spots with you this year (b/c we'll agree on 49 of them ).

You know it bud,

if they werent drafted i think you can assume they are safe on PS unless he just wants to go to another team's PS which theres nothing we can do about that

TBH idont see both west and O'neal making it if Mack comes back neither might make it and at S i think we have our guys (Ward, Moore, Hafunga, Odum) .

Its very clear what were doing we drafted and got so many G because we have a full fledged open competition for IOL and taking the shotgun approach and hope one/two of these guys hit

Agreed.

So how did we do on filling our needs with front line starters (not depth, but upgrades)?

Here were the needs coming into the off season:

Team Needs: CB, ER (Speed), IOL (C & G), RT, SS, XWR (Speed), QB2, T (Future), TE2, SWR, ST (Returner) & 2i

I'll throw an initial 53 out. I don't think their done adding players though. I got a feeling they'll add a vet safety later this summer for one. Subject to change...

This is contingent on Mack coming back. If so I got a feeling they try to stash Brendel on the practice squad starting out and Brunskill becomes the game day center back up. They typically start out with 8 olineman on their initial 53 which is why the team favors versatile lineman.

Here were the needs coming into the off season:

Team Needs: CB, ER (Speed), IOL (C & G), RT, SS, XWR (Speed), QB2, T (Future), TE2, SWR, ST (Returner) & 2i

Addressed CB with Ward signing and some depth draft picks.
ER: fully addressed with our "first round" pick lol
IOL addressed depth but not immediate starting material (still think there could be a vet signing if Mack hangs em up).
T -Not looked at, must feel Glinch is gonna be ok,
SS not looked at, long standing rumors they really like Moore.
XWR- clearly addressed in draft
QB2- lottery pick, which is ok for this year.
TE2- not addressed - cant have everything
SWR- not addressed - Cant have everything
ST- Ray Ray/ Odum

All in all not bad, I do feel like we at the Webzone saw IOL and SS as much higher priorities than the front office, but it is really hard to argue with the individual players taken. They clearly wanted a booked of the future with Bosa and to get some carries off from Deebo more, and I cant really find a glaring flaw in that logic, I just would have made other choices that admittedly could have been worse?

I see no weaknesses

Nothing glaring anyway. No position you are going to pick on exclusively. Could have trouble up the gut if Mack retires and Banks doesn't work out. Bad problem to have with a rookie QB, hopefully neither happens or at the very least only one.
