On paper, by drafting skill position players like Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle, while also trading for established stars like Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams, the 49ers have built one of the strongest rosters in the league.
Who are the most valuable players on the offensive side of the ball for the 49ers?
With minicamp complete and training camp over a month away, it's the perfect time for an interesting exercise with the 49ers offense: an all-offense fantasy draft using only current 49ers to determine the most valuable players on the team.
Teaming up with 49ers Rush's John Chapman, we sought to draft the best offensive rosters possible in a snake draft, with tough decisions at several positions in which the 49ers will likely entertain training camp battles for roster spots.
Here are the final rosters:
Quarterback
Team Rohan: Brock Purdy
Team John: Trey Lance
Running Backs
Team Rohan: Elijah Mitchell
Team John: Christian McCaffrey
Wide Receivers
Team Rohan: Brandon Aiyuk, Ray-Ray McCloud
Team John: Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings
Tight Ends
Team Rohan: Kyle Juszczyk
Team John: George Kittle
FLEX
Team Rohan: Jordan Mason
Team John: Danny Gray
Offensive Line
Team Rohan: Trent Williams, Aaron Banks, Jake Brendel, Jason Poe, Nick Zakelj
Team John: Matt Pryor, Jaylon Moore, Jon Feliciano, Spencer Burford, Colton McKivitz
In the exercise, there were some positions that involved significant depth, such as running back and quarterback, while other positions faced a lack of quality backups, such as tackle and tight end, forcing difficult decisions in the fantasy draft.
Who ended with the better roster?
