It was Halloween night, 2022 at the #49ers team Halloween party. It's the last time QB Brock Purdy's teammates ever doubted him. Outside doubt still abounds but Purdy is unfazed, handling it all with the right mix of humility and bravado. Here's how... espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

#49ers add a couple of Big Macs today as roster keeps churning post draft: RB Sincere McCormick S Patrick McMorris

The #49ers eight (8) undrafted free agent additions:

@KyleAMadson Quite a high horse for someone who openly admitted he can’t count.

The guy who sent the DM was so mean about it. He was like “Some managing editor you are. Fucking casual. I can’t count how many mistakes you made.” 😂😂😂😂

Guys. I have a confession. I’ve been caught. I was sent a direct message on instagram today that contained conclusive evidence that I did actually type “Dre Greenlaw” when I meant “Dee Winters” in a post about the 49ers’ trade on Day 2 of the NFL draft. I deeply regret the error.

#49ers adding Indiana edge Mikail Kamara as a UDFA means there will be four Hoosiers on the roster (along with QB Kurtis Rourke, DT C.J. West and RB Kaelan Black). My pal @GuyHaberman, who has spent a lot of time around that program, made a good point on his pod this week about the kind of guys Indiana now churns out under Curt Cignetti. Hard nosed, thick skinned guys unafraid to be coached hard. In this day and age, that's a good quality to have, especially for teams with coaching staffs that operate in the same way. Player development is nice to talk about but it's only really possible if all parties are bought in.

Former Notre Dame WR Will Pauling is signing with the 49ers, per source.

Former Penn State TE Khalil Dinkins is signing with the 49ers on a deal that includes $275,000 guaranteed, per source.

#49ers GM John Lynch said there's been no movement on a possible trade for WR Brandon Aiyuk. He said the team doesn't plan to release Aiyuk "right now." Says he's available and asks teams to give him a call.

@Sarky_G Will ask to be sure but profiles as more of an OT while Willis profiles more inside.

@nwagoner Think Cruz plays G or OT?

The #49ers' 2026 draft: Round 2 (33): WR De'Zhaun Stribling, Ole Miss Round 3 (70): DE Romello Height, Texas Tech Round 3 (90): RB Kaelon Black, Indiana Round 4 (107): DT Gracen Halton, Oklahoma Round 4 (127): OL Carver Willis, Washington Round 4 (139): CB Ephesians Prysock, Washington Round 5 (154): LB Jaden Dugger, Louisiana Round 5 (179): OT Enrique Cruz Jr.

Cruz played both tackle spots in college and tested quite well athletically at the combine. He had the third highest athletic testing score among OTs there. A prospect the #49ers can develop behind their top three tackles and compete with Austen Pleasants for a roster spot.

With what (as of now) is their last pick, the #49ers selected OL Enrique Cruz Jr., Kansas.

#49ers on the clock for (potentially) their last pick in the draft at No. 179.

As it stands, #49ers have one more selection remaining. It's No. 179 overall at the end of this round.

Dugger is big (6'4, 240) with a huge wingspan (7 foot) and has experience at safety and linebacker. Still relatively new to off-ball LB. Curious to see how Niners use him. Dugger says he isn't sure yet how SF plans to use him but that will be "ironed out soon."

#49ers use pick No. 154 on LB Jaden Dugger, Louisiana.

#49ers are on the clock at No. 154.

Prysock profiles more like the type of corners the #49ers coveted in the early years of the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan regime. He's 6'3 3/8 with arm length of 33 1/8 inches, which measured as the 2nd tallest and 3rd longest arms among DBs at this year's scouting combine.

#49ers use pick No. 139 on CB Ephesians Prysock, Washington. Two Washington players in a row.

#49ers on the clock at No. 139.

@itsnotright484 You're on to something here.

I think they hated this draft with how much they moved back lol
