That's a great return on a seventh-round pick out of Florida from the 2015 NFL draft. The 6-foot-9, 376-pounder has improved steadily to give the 49ers a solid pair of tackles, along with veteran Joe Staley on the left side.Brown has allowed just one sack, six quarterback hits and nine hurries on 415 pass-blocking stats in 2017, according to PFF.But Brown will miss the final two games of this season because of a shoulder problem that will require surgery, and he is due to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2018 season.As Wagoner wrote, "Where he fits in the 49ers' plans could depend largely on how he recovers from the shoulder surgery and his condition when he gets back."He's expected to be able to resume full activities by the start of training camp next summer.

It's widely anticipated that the San Francisco 49ers will bolster their offensive line with the No. 31 overall pick, and Davis doesn't stray from this expectation. With talents like Amarius Mims and Tyler Guyton off the board, Davis sees general manager John Lynch and his team selecting former Washington offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in high spirits, and it's no wonder why. He's well aware that his bank account is about to get a significant boost, one way or another.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a
