The 49ers have positioned themselves to prioritize best player available in the draft

This offseason, the San Francisco 49ers chose to go quantity over elite quality, electing against signing a big-name free agent and instead dishing out a number of mid-level contracts at several positions.

In doing so, the 49ers addressed defensive line, cornerback, and linebacker, while re-signing or extending a few of their own players, putting together a sneaky good offseason.

It was important for San Francisco to fill a number of their holes with depth, but they did so while retaining flexibility for the future, dishing out mainly two-year contracts, with the opportunity of potentially moving on after a season if needed.
