Which younger player are you most interested how much better they might be this year?

Is Aiyuk a number 1? One 1000 yard season is nice. I'd like to see an even better year to convince me. Hufunga was a nice surprise last year. But despite splash plays he gave up some big ones. The pro bowl shocked me and the all pro nod made a farce of the entire process. I wanna see him earn both. I watched the games. If he doesn't improve let someone else overpay. Others go without saying

Drake Jackson.

but from your list, Spencer Burford. Not having to worry about right guard for the next 3 years would be nice.
I actually feel good about Drake Jackson. I think he opens camp with the 1's and gets 60-70% of the snaps and has 8ish plus sacks. With a full season of Armstead and Hargrove, along with depth we got better here IMO despite the attrition. Definitely shoukd have included Drake. I was pleased with what he did with his opportunities.
We Need Colton the most
Trey Lance but he's not on the list so I'll go with Hufanga.
Danny Gray
Drake Jackson. His last year in college they tried to make him a LB, so hoping he's back to his DE playing weight. He was good against the run and a strong pass rusher, so I'd REALLY like to see him win the starting job. I was unimpressed with Ebukam, so hoping for not just a replacement - but an upgrade here. Especially with the loss of Omenihu too, I worry about our run defense at that spot.

From the list, I'd say Jordan Mason. I really want to see him and CMC become our 1-2 punch. Mason showed flashes in limited opportunities last year, and even broke some big gains when the defense was keying on the run. He has good power and can help wear down a defense, I just think he brings more to the offense as a #2 than Mitchell.
Man, there's a lot of players you can list here. MM was just talking about how Kyle is a bit old school in that he likes to develop players for a year first by red-shirting them in year 1 but there's been a couple times the rookies were forced to play d/t injury (i.e. Aiyuk).

Ty Davis-Price - Another 3rd round bust or is he going to take off and spell CMC well?
Danny Gray - He's got some competition now but his growth would be huge.
Aaron Banks - Started off red hot but like most young first-year players, fell off quite a bit probably more d/t conditioning more than talent.
Jake Brendel - Now there is tape on you. But he played very consistent all year.
Spencer Burford - Split time with Brunskill and played slightly below average but now he's going to be a 20-game starter (see Banks)?
Drake Jackson - For the love of God, please become awesome so ShanaLynch spend some f**king resources somewhere else.
Javon Kinlaw - Hey, if he's not rehabbing, he...
Deommodore Lenoir - Wilks might like the longer CB's but if he can ball, that would be huge for us.
Ambry Thomas - Remember him? Don't give up on him yet.
Samuel Womack III - Like Banks, started out red hot and then disappeared from the starting lineup. But challenging Oliver and winning would be huge.
Brandon Aiyuk - OK, he had his one big Deebo-year. Will he check out now?
Talanoa Hufunga - The tape is out on him now too. Sophomore slump or arrow-up?
Jordan Mason - The mystery.
Colton Mckivitz - He needs to be beaten out badly from a talent perspective but hey, he's had plenty of time to develop so who knows.

You don't believe in Baby Jaire? Lol…I mean, he has an uphill battle competing against Huf in the slot.
