49ers’ Kyle Shanahan says rookie Reuben Foster could miss season
May 4, 2017 at 7:00 PM

Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence that Reuben Foster's injured shoulder isn't a long-term issue, but the 49ers' head coach didn't rule out a "worst-case scenario" in which the inside linebacker would need a follow-up procedure that could prevent him from playing in 2017. Last week, the 49ers traded up three spots to draft Foster with the No. 31 pick. Since the selection, USA Today and ESPN have reported that Foster will need a second surgery, citing league sources. Most of former general manager Trent Baalke's draft picks have survived the offseason purge, but running back Mike Davis is no longer among them. The 49ers released Davis, a 2015 fourth-round pick, who averaged 2 yards on 54 career carries. Davis is expected to be the last player released to make room for 18 undrafted rookies who officially signed Thursday. Of the Baalke draft picks whom general manager John Lynch inherited, 27 of 31 remain on the roster. Stewart (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) had 3,299 yards, 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and completed 59.2 percent of his passes in 21 games past two seasons.

We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a franchise-record 4,280 yards last season, leading the team to the Super Bowl and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He held onto the football 39 times on the ground, rushing for 144 yards and scoring twice. This marked a significant improvement over his rookie 2022 campaign when he had 22 carries for 13 yards and a score.

With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, ESPN contributors have highlighted some prospects who have seen their draft stock rise throughout the evaluation process. Jordan Reid and Matt Miller pinpointed players who could hear their names called at the end of the first round.
Interestingly, both of the prospects identified by Reid and Miller play in the trenches but on different sides of the ball. The San Francisco 49ers are widely expected to draft an offensive lineman with their first selection—No. 31 overall. The team mostly ignored the group in free agency. However, it wouldn't surprise many people if the
