By my count, the niners already have 5 awesome versatile skill position guys: McCaffrey, Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, and Juszczyk.
Even if there's a strong case to start preparing for the future, I'd expect a Super Bowl contender to be patching up holes in the early rounds.
Shanahan says MORE!

Now he has a great Wildcat lineup: McCaffrey under center and five awesome skill guys.

It will be interesting to see what they do in the coming rounds. Since Shanahan and Lynch took over the team they have not drafted anything but WR, QB, OT, Edge, DT in the first round. We knew they weren't going QB. All the top tackles were off the board. Darius Robinson was the edge they were targeting in first round but he went to the Cardinals. I am surprised they didn't take Newton but maybe they had something in the medicals they don't like. 49ers are all about health history now. All the FAs they signed in the offseason are guys that don't miss games. They don't have the depth they used to so they want their starters and top rotational guys on the field.
