How 49ers 2023 draft class can make up for holes in 2024 class

Which 2024 game will be the most difficult for the San Francisco 49ers? There are a few to choose from. The NFL schedule-makers did the 49ers no favors. They will travel more air miles than most teams and have the worst rest disadvantage in the league at -21. That means they have multiple games in which the other team is coming off a bye or a mini-bye. Even when the 49ers seem to have an advantage because they're coming off a mini-bye, their next game is against a team returning from their bye week. The Baltimore Ravens, on the other hand, have the best rest advantage in the league (+16). Last week I highlighted the 49ers' top five non-divisional games. Those are the most important

Following the release of the 2024 NFL schedule, much attention was drawn to the San Francisco 49ers' rest differential of minus-22, once again the worst in the NFL. Rest differential measures the difference in rest days between games for a team and the rest days of each of its opponents throughout the season. ESPN's Brian Burke highlighted the 49ers' rest differential for the upcoming season, noting it as one of the three worst since 2002, alongside the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles and the 2005 San Diego Chargers. Rest difference vs opponents. Tough scene for SF.

The San Francisco 49ers are once again recognized as having one of the best rosters in the NFL. Is it perfect? No. There are concerns about the offensive line, particularly on the right side. The defensive interior lost veteran Arik Armstead. At safety, Talanoa Hufanga returns from a major injury, while Ji'Ayir Brown enters his sophomore NFL season. Still, the team boasts an impressive amount of talent and depth that few others can match. NFL Media's Eric Edholm recently assessed the league and identified the 10 most complete teams entering the 2024 season. The 49ers topped his list, ahead of the Baltimore Ravens and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City

The San Francisco 49ers have announced the finalized dates and times for their 2024 preseason schedule. The details are listed below.
