The San Francisco 49ers hired former offensive line coach Chris Foerster as a consultant — a role he has been in since sometime last season. News of the hiring was first reported by ESPN. The exact date of his hire is not known.

"Foerster, 57, joined the 49ers during the offseason, but the hiring was never announced, nor is Foerster currently mentioned on the 49ers' team website," wrote Jenna Laine of ESPN. "He assists the coaching staff with game-planning, the sources said."

Foerster resigned from his role with the Miami Dolphins on October 9, 2017, after a video surfaced of him snorting a white powdery substance. He promised to seek professional help for drug and alcohol addiction.

"If he was fully on our coaching staff, going to practice and going to games, I understand that it's something that I'd have to address, but he's not," head coach Kyle Shanahan told NBC Sports Bay Area. "He's in a consulting role. A lot of teams have consultants. I understand the ramifications of that, and why people will ask why I didn't say anything about it."

This is Foerster's third stint with the 49ers. He was the offensive line coach from 2008-09, and then again in 2015. Foerster has spent time with several other teams as an offensive line coach, including the Dolphins, Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"He is still in a consulting role because I do understand the seriousness of this matter," Shanahan added. "We're trying to ease him back in. I understand how big of a problem he did have. I also understand what he's doing in committing to fix that problem. We're trying to give him a chance to get back on track."

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that the team has re-signed WR Chris Conley to a one-year deal. Conley spent 2023 with the 49ers but only appeared in eight games. He finished the regular season with three receptions for 69 yards. But Conley saved his best for the postseason. Although he only had two receptions for 35 yards, his catches came in big moments. In the Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, with the 49ers trailing 21-17, Conley brought in a 17-yard catch that moved the ball to Green Bay's 26-yard line. The 49ers scored the winning touchdown on the drive. Then in Super Bowl LVIII, Conley hauled in an 18-yard reception in the first quarter to help set up a Jake Moody field goal. But perhaps Conely's biggest plays in the Super Bowl

Things will change as the rest of free agency plays out. However, this mock draft tries to address the San Francisco 49ers' key needs and doesn't rely heavily on the moves that have already been made this week—just yet. This mock draft was created without heavily factoring in the trade for defensive tackle Maliek Collins, so it still includes 11 selections. Another mock draft reflecting the most recent roster changes is coming soon. Round 1, Pick 31 DT Byron Murphy II, Texas Although the 49ers addressed the defensive tackle position in free agency, Byron Murphy II may be the best player at the 31. Murphy II's quick burst and get-off makes him one of the most dangerous defensive tackles in the draft. He will impact the
