GM John Lynch indicated this week that the draft isn't as deep because so many draftable players

New WR Jacob Cowing measured 5’8 3/8” and 168 pounds at the NFL Combine, which was tied for the shortest WR and the 2nd-lightest WR in 2024. His 4.38 in the 40-yard dash was the 5th best among wideouts.

He projects as a slot receiver with return ability.

The overriding part of the discussion about WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel that many seemed to ignore: the Niners have not and do not HAVE to move on from either of them this year. They are not in a cap crunch. That decision could ALWAYS wait until 2025. And they're…

coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if the intention is to have both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel on the roster in 2024. His response:

New OL Dominick Puni says he took a visit to the Niners a couple weeks ago and was told they envision him playing on the interior and can help at tackle in a pinch.

New OL Dominic Puni started 25 games split between left guard and left tackle at Kansas over the past two seasons.

At LT in 2023, he allowed four pressures and no sacks. He was 1 of 3 FBS left tackles with at least 700 snaps at the position and no sacks allowed.
