6. Jalen Hurd
There’s a world where Hurd settles into a multi-positional role on the 49ers’ offense and has a real impact on how the team can manipulate defenses and create mismatches. He appeared to be on his way to that before a preseason back injury lingered all year and forced him to miss his rookie season. The running-back-turned-receiver has a ton of upside as a pass catcher, runner and blocker. If he performs well in a receiver/running back/tight end hybrid role, it’ll add another layer to the ‘position-less’ offense head coach Kyle Shanahan is building. On the other hand, he could quickly lose his spot if injuries become an issue or he’s unable to fill that multi-purpose role since he’s probably not versatile enough as a receiver yet to earn real playing time.
