Let's start with an obvious target as JD and LaFleur wanted to pull off before the 9ers re-signed him:
RB Jeff Wilson Jr. will be an unrestricted FA and is only 26 just turned November, could be a replacement for either Tevin Coleman or if they part ways with La'Mical Perine...
I expect them to re-sign Nick Bawden, so this position is set...
Wide Receiver there are a ton of potential options via free agency one that returned to Pittsburgh may be available but for the right price... His build and skill set would thrive in this offense...
There are three other options that might suit to have a role in this offense like FA:
Main problem this year is the lack of talent at tight end there are a few good options in free agency: David Njoku leads this group but a player like Ian Thomas or Will Dissly even Mike Gesicki are all options to be the new number one but like receiver there are plenty of options more affordable through the draft... They will likely keep Trevon Wesco who is under contract and eithe re-sign one of the veteran three most likely Ryan Griffin...
Offensive Line: Depending if they want to draft one, two or three starters will go into how they address free agency... Expect them to consider to re-sign a player like Conor McDermott... But could target current Cowboy Connor Williams as one primary free agent target... Another could be Pittsburgh's OT Chukwuma Okorafor... Another Tackle Matt Gono both could be right tackle options... Connor Williams could fill in at Right Guard or Center depending on the direction the team wants to go in the draft...
Defensive Line: Starting with Defensive End, expect two individuals to be targeted by us:
FS Marcus Willaims
SS Ronnie Harrison
Both 25 and could bolster for years...
Corner position if we add anyone will be in the draft day 3 round 6 (currently don't have any picks)
Linebacker is a position that needs to be addressed through the draft...
Lastly wonder if they will attempt to draft or bring another place kicker in for a tryout? Still believe Tucker McCann could be an option for us but there are some college kickers to look into...
