Paths to the Roster for All 8 Picks of the 49ers Draft Class
There was some conventional wisdom heading into the NFL Draft that the 49ers would potentially package some of their ten picks to move up at various times, given that lots of positions on the roster seem relatively set, and that the team is unlikely to rely on rookies while continuing to work through their championship window. In the end, though, this didn't prove to be the case, as the 49ers ended up selecting eight rookies across the seven rounds of the draft. Where might they fit on a crowded roster, and what are their best paths to playing time? Let's take a look.
WR Ricky Pearsall (Round 1, Pick 32)
This is an easy one, because barring an absolute catastrophe or an injury, Ricky Pearsall is going to be on the roster. Heck, even AJ Jenkins made the roster
Ricky Pearsall has message for 49ers fans as rookie embarks on NFL journey
New San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was in Santa Clara on Friday, getting to know his new coaches and touring his new NFL home. This included the team's home field, Levi's Stadium, which is situated next to the team's headquarters.
Fans and analysts were surprised by Pearsall's selection. They projected the 49ers would use their No. 31 overall pick on the best available offensive tackle. Pearsall, who didn't really have San Francisco on his radar, was also surprised by the selection.
"I think the only time I actually met with them was during the Senior Bowl when you're kind of doing like the little speed dating meetings," Pearsall told reporters during a Zoom call after learning he was headed to the 49ers. "So that's really the only time I really
NFL.com: 49ers' selection of Ricky Pearsall adds 'smooth' separator out wide
While many were surprised to hear wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's name called during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, NFL.com's deputy editor, Gennaro Filice, wasn't among them.
Filice handed out his draft grades for the NFC West, and while the San Francisco 49ers earned the lowest marks of the group, it was still a respectable "B-" mark.
"The first-round selection of Ricky Pearsall took many by surprise, but not this keyboard jockey!" Filice wrote. "I had the Florida wideout coming off the board in Round 1 in my final
NFL exec praises 49ers' Ricky Pearsall pick; Another believes Deebo Samuel is out next year
Mike Sando of The Athletic frequently taps into the insights of NFL executives across the league to gather intel and opinions on NFL developments, the latest being the 2024 NFL Draft. In his recent discussions with NFL executives about the San Francisco 49ers, the spotlight was on the wide receiver position.
One unnamed NFL executive praised the 49ers' choice of wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick.
"We loved that receiver," the executive told Sando. "The first round is probably a little high for him, but if they want the fifth-year option with him, fine."
That's an interesting perspective that has yet to receive much attention regarding Pearsall's selection. First-round picks come with a team option for a fifth year, which
