Ranking the 49ers by positional strength after the 2021 NFL Draft
Let’s take a look at the Niners’ roster and how it stacks up now that we’re past the NFL Draft

Despite finishing 6-10, the expectations for the San Francisco 49ers are sky-high heading into the 2021 season. I saw one power ranking have the Niners as high as No. 3 in the league, which feels rich.
The massive trade up to the third overall pick will ultimately determine the fate of this team. Still, the 49ers should receive playing time from a couple of draft picks early on, and the team elected to “run it back” with their free-agent signings, signaling they’re happy with the state of their roster.

Five of their six picks were defensive players.

The city of brotherly love is welcoming in a DBU alum.
The Philadelphia Eagles picked former Tiger safety JaCoby Stevens in the sixth round, 224th overall, on day three of the NFL Draft.
It’s believed Stevens will be moving from safety to linebacker for the Eagles. In the 2017 draft, Philadelphia took Nate Gerry, then a safety out of Nebraska, and moved him to safety. Stevens is built along the same line as Gerry.
Stevens was a leader on and off the field for LSU. He of course wore LSU’s famed No. 7 jersey given to the team’s playmaker, and off the field he was the university’s choice for the SEC’s 2020 Community Service team.
