The 49ers have put together consecutive quality drafts and it helped guide them to a Super Bowl berth in the 2019 season. Now they need to hit a home run in the 2020 draft if they’re going to extend their championship window.

Their issue going into the draft is a lack of resources. They own their own first-round pick, but none after that until the fifth.

Because of that, they need to be diligent with how they distribute those picks among their positional needs. Free agency will play a key role in how these needs ultimately shake out, but here are the top four before free agency.

Wide receiver

While Deebo Samuel emerged as a do-everything star in his rookie season, the 49ers still have too many question marks at receiver to ignore it in the draft. Kendrick Bourne had a good year and is a restricted free agent, while Emmanuel Sanders is an unrestricted free agent coming off another strong season. The 33-year-old veteran may wind up getting a larger deal on the open market than San Francisco can afford. Dante Pettis fell out of the rotation this season, and Richie James Jr. saw minimal offensive snaps. Trent Taylor had five procedures on his injured foot in the offseason, and Jalen Hurd missed his whole rookie year with a back injury.

There’s a lot of potential in that group, but the massive question marks among them make the position one the 49ers have to consider in this year’s draft. Draft analysts are already lauding the depth of this year’s crop of receiver prospects, so it’s not out of the question San Francisco snags a quality prospect late in the first round or outside of it.
