Photo by Christian Petersen/ Looking at a potential option for the 49ers at the end of the first round The 49ers have been linked to several draft prospects heading into the NFL draft, in particular, several offensive linemen.

Jed York says it’s a good problem when your QB in one of your highest-paid players

Photo by Ethan Miller/ York says the market will tell the 49ers what to pay Brock Purdy One reason why it makes little sense for the San Francisco 49ers to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is because of the chemistry he has with quarterback Brock Purdy.

Looking back at the 7 players drafted at No. 31 overall during Kyle Shanahan’s tenure

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ The 49ers were one of the picks. But this list may not instill confidence. The San Francisco 49ers own the No. 31 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. They could trade up if a prospect they covet falls in the draft — likely due to a run on a specific position, namely, quarterback.

Today, we’ll act as if the 49ers will stand pat at No. 31 and look back to see who was selected with the second to last pick in...

Golden Nuggets: Start your Wednesday with a Brock Purdy pep talk

Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Wednesday, March 27th, 2024 Why Aiyuk contract extension is vital for 49ers QB Purdy “Shanahan said he saw Aiyuk last week, as they were both staying in the same hotel in Cabo San Lucas, a vacation spot at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Shanahan says he tries to remove himself from all the drama of contract talks while Lynch and chief negotiator Paraag Marathe deal with Aiyuk’s representation.
