Assessing the 49ers' 2023 draft class and Kyle Shanahan's vote of confidence in Colton Mckivitz.

The San Francisco 49ers' 2023 draft class has received criticism for being the worst in the league, but the team's choices were limited due to previously trading their first and second round picks. The team added nine players, including safety Ji’Ayir Brown, kicker Jake Moody, tight end Cameron Latu, cornerback Darrell Luter Jr., EDGE Robert Beal Jr., linebacker Dee Winters, tight end Brayden Willis, wide receiver Ronnie Bell, and linebacker John Graham. Brown was a standout pick, while Moody fills a need at kicker. Latu and Willis will compete to upgrade the tight end room, Luter will compete for a spot at cornerback, and Winters and Graham will compete for a spot at linebacker. Bell will compete for the final spot in the wide receiver room.
