The San Francisco 49ers added five new weapons during the three days of the 2020 NFL Draft, which wrapped up on Saturday. They kicked off the first round by adding defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw of South Carolina, and then went offense with the remainder of their selections. That started with the team's second first-round pick — wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk of Arizona State.
While the 49ers didn't have a Day 2 selection, lacking a pick between rounds one and five, the team's Day 3 haul included an offensive lineman, a tight end, and another receiver.

49ers' Richard Sherman: NFL will 'fight tooth and nail' to finish 2020 season
By David Bonilla
Jul 21, 2020
The NFL is doing everything in its power to ensure that the 2020 season, in some form, takes place. If that means conceding to a few demands from the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), so be it. The alternative—no season—is a less-favorable option.
The NFL has finally agreed to daily testing when it wanted less frequent checks for the COVID-19 virus. The league has yielded to the NFLPA, saying now that it is okay with eliminating the preseason altogether after fighting to keep half or even just one weeks' worth of exhibition matchups.
Many are skeptical that the NFL can pull off a 16-game season. Some even doubt that Week 1's slate of games will be played. Something is likely to give with the pandemic showing no signs of slowing.

No salary cap drop for 49ers, NFL teams in 2020, but next four years could be impacted

A report on Thursday stated that NFL owners were pushing to lower the salary cap for 2020 and 2021. The move was being proposed to offset any potential losses that may come from the absence of fans within stadiums.

Kyle Juszczyk is entering the final year of his four-year, $21 million deal. That is a lot of money for a fullback. Of course, few play-callers value the position as much as San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Bill Barnwell of ESPN once again ranked the NFL's biggest outlier contracts in 2020, and for the fourth year in a row, Juszczyk's deal comes in at No. 1. The deal is a whopping 132 percent above the position average. That's a significant gap.
"The gap between him and the rest of the pack has fallen after the (Derek) Watt and (C.J.) Ham contracts were signed, but there's still a huge space
