Man… You can find a scheme fit at EDGE up and down the draft. RB might be the most talented and deepest class I can remember.

I bet that is something they will be prioritizing going forward. They will lean towards experienced prospects who have high end football IQ/character (the multi-yr captain types)

One key factor is the type of players they bring in

2 hallmarks of the 2024 draft class was experience & football character

Each of the picks were at minimum 4 year college players & they all had stand out football character

Between pending FAs & an increasing aging/ballooning roster the 49ers are gonna have to fill a lot of spots in the offseason

Currently slated to have 10 draft picks & I suspect they will all of them (if not close to) plus they're gonna have to be aggressive in UDFA

In other words

Kyle Shanahan isn't going anywhere & while he has flaws we should be lucky to have him instead of keeping to stretch for a HC of his caliber

I say all that in order to point to the fact that when you have a good to great HC you keep them and you view their time in totality and not just base decisions on a singular stretch of games

Clearly winning a SB grants you a certain level of leeway & time but its not always the greatest indicator of how good a HC is or their ability to recreate the same level of success that got that to the title

7 active HCs who have a SB

Reid
McVay
Pederson
Harbaugh
McCarthy
Payton
Tomlin

Reid/McVay/Pederson have won one since 14'

Of the other 4

Harbaugh has won 3 playoff games since 12

McCarthy has 6 playoff wins since 10'

Payton has 5 playoff wins since 09'

Tomlin has 5 playoff wins since 08'

Why the 49ers were determined to land Evan Anderson: 'Kept reminding me of D.J.': The competition for Anderson was intense, which is why he got so much guaranteed money. One of the teams the 49ers had to beat out: Seattle.
