The 49ers are running it back with maybe one big difference. The quarterback position is up in the air as Brock Purdy led them on a deep playoff run following injuries to both Jimmy Garappolo and Trey Lance. So, do the 49ers put their trust in Mr. Irrelevant again? Or do they hand the keys back to the former top 5 pick in Trey Lance? Either quarterback who starts will be surrounded by elite talent.

Draft Recap

The 49ers didn’t have a pick until the third round of the NFL Draft. On offense, they didn’t do much other than bring in two backup tight ends: Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis. Plus, Ronnie Bell, former Michigan wide receiver, was selected in the seventh round.
