Draft seniors
After coaching the Senior Bowl in 2019, Shanahan and Lynch went back to Mobile, Alabama for the 2020 draft. Four of the 49ers’ six selections were all on the Senior Bowl roster. Kinlaw, Brandon Aiyuk, Colton McKivitz and Jauan Jennings played in the pre-draft All-Star game.
After the seventh round was over, the 49ers signed two undrafted free agents in Jamychal Hasty and Jared Mayden, who both participated in the Senior Bowl.
The 49ers trip to the Super Bowl was boosted by a pair of 2019 Senior Bowl members with Samuel and Dre Greenlaw.
While it’s more common in the NBA to take a flyer on a younger player, the Golden State Warriors have had success of their own with the senior class. After bursting onto the scene in his rookie year, former four-year college player Eric Paschall looks like a core piece of the Warriors’ future.
Top seniors Grant Riller, Payton Pritchard and Cassius Winston could be intriguing choices for the Golden State Warriors if available.
