49ers’ offseason exodus: 149 starts and 8,597 snaps
Jun 9, 2015 at 3:06 PM
• --
On March 27, in the third week of free agency, it was noted here the 49ers no longer had 10 players who had started at least one game in 2014 and that group had accounted to make 107 starts and log 6,355 snaps last year. More than two months later, of course, those totals need updating as the 49ers' oh-so-unpleasant offseason has maintained its momentum. Since March 27, two starters who spent a combined 13 seasons with the 49ers departed: wide receiver Michael Crabtree signed with the Raiders and defensive tackle Justin Smith retired.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
By David Bonilla

Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk

It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
