3 positional needs the 49ers may have to bypass in the NFL Draft

Coming into free agency, the San Francisco 49ers had holes to fill. The team did just that, signing center Weston Richburg, running back Jerick McKinnon and cornerback Richard Sherman (after being released by the Seattle Seahawks) in free agency.

Interior offensive line play was an issue last season for San Francisco; Richburg helps alleviate the concern there.

With the departure of starting running back Carlos Hyde to the Cleveland Browns, there was an opening at the position. McKinnon, one of head coach Kyle Shanahan’s top targets in free agency, is now slotted to fill that vacancy with Matt Breida slotted as the No.
