According to Spotrac: We've got $43m in cap space right now We've got $122m in cap space next year Those do not factor in the rookie contracts. So in reality, you're looking at about $32m on the Top 51 today - plenty of $$ to go out and get a Tackle or whoever else post-draft we want to sign, and my expectation is we'll be rolling a minimum of $15m into 2025, which will likely get us back up into the $100+m cap range next off-season.

So much will play out this year and a lot will obviously change, but I think this draft was a really great step toward rebuilding the roster. While much of our FA class was on short-term deals, we'll have tons of cap money to spend next year as well as a result, which will allow us to get aggressive to fill major holes. I think going into the 2025 draft cycle (LOL I know) - we are well positioned to attack OT, LB, DE and CB in the next round of youthful talent infusion. I would expect our first rounder next year would be earmarked for an OT as much as possible.

Yes. And it’s interesting because we could line up very well in the 3-4 and that does not include any of the DEs with upside we brought in FA. Armstrong Fowler and Ferrell. Not to mention KJ Henry. We may have 3 elite level DTs and not so much at DE but we certainly have very quality depth. It’s insane. DE: Armstrong, Fowler, Ferrell, Henry, Jean-Baptiste DT: Allen, Payne, Newton, Mathis LB: Wagner, Luvu, Davis, Magee Front 7 is stacked.

I think we’ve properly addressed the defense. We should be pretty good to borderline really good with the new coaching staff. offensively will be fun. We just really like Coleman as a LT cause he was our only OL pick and after we took him were in position to grab OTs and OGs of value later and passed Excited to read up on the draft once the dust settles and UDFAs get in! PS I think Luke McCaffery is gonna end up as a pro bowl caliber slot WR. Really excited to see what he can do.

QB: ✅ WR: ✅ TE: ✅ DL: ✅ LB: ✅ CB: ✅ OT: ✅ hit all the holes, in theory.

Never heard of em but 🤷‍♂️AP has good success on LBs in this range.

I’d like another OL. Christian Jones we had in for a visit I believe. Mahogany would be great. Give me Christian Jones though if he’s there. Let him and Coleman battle out for LT and RT If one of them loses out they can also compete at LT. Or Wylie can kick inside. Not that I’d expect a 5th rounder to start but I thought jones could have gone way earlier

Remember too that Rounds 4-7 are AP’s bread and butter. Or at least the bread and butter of recent SF drafts. Stink we only have 3 picks today. Probably not much of a chance to acquire more picks. But excited to see who AP has in mind with our 5th round picks.

Coleman is a LT I think. Would love to add Christian Jones too. But not sure he lasts to our pick. Overall happy with our haul. Newton is definitely an interesting pick and we probably had a R1 grade on him. And reading that we could do 3 DL packages with him Allen and Payne with Luvu roaming as a rusher is fun to envision.

My guess is he’s drafted to grow into the LT. We’ll see.

My guess is they view him as a LG or LT. Seems like he’s got the profile to play LT. Worst case a longterm starting LG.
