writer Dan Hanzus provided his
updated power rankings after the 2022 NFL Draft.
The San Francisco 49ers remained at the No.5 spot, with no movement post draft. Hanzus offered no comments on the 49ers draft selections but he did comment on the availability of All-Pro
Deebo Samuel. Hanzus writes:
"Meanwhile, the Niners don't seem at all eager to move superstar wide receiver
Deebo Samuel, trade demand be damned. Kyle Shanahan said on Friday the 49ers have yet to receive an offer that was "
even remotely close" to what they'd consider fair. One explanation for that, as a prominent NFL reporter recently said to me, is that San Francisco has been "really unreasonable" in trade conversations."
It's clear at this point the 49ers do not want to move Samuel, and no teams have offered anything to make the 49ers change their mind.
The four teams ahead of the 49ers in Hanzus' power rankings include the Rams, Bills, Bengals, and Buccaneers.
Despite the Deebo Samuel saga and a debatable draft, the 49ers haven't budged in his power rankings.

While it would be foolish to declare that the San Francisco 49ers lack any deficiencies, the team remains one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. That alone is enough to place them high on media power rankings.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
