\"49ers'<\/p>\n

PALM BEACH, Fla. \u2014 Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday he\u2019s eager for a different kind of San Francisco 49ers offseason, one in which his squad is rested, practice attendance is high and there\u2019s plenty of competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into this season, going into OTAs, going into training camp, I do feel there will be as much competition on our team for starting spots as there has been in a while, especially on defense,\u201d Shanahan said during the NFC coaches breakfast at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. \u201cBut we kind of want to create that everywhere. We haven\u2019t had that for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roster was so talented in recent years, Shanahan said, the 49ers went into drafts looking for depth rather than starters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember going into it (two) years ago and thought the only starting position we could find was a kicker \u2014 we were so solidified,\u201d Shanahan said.<\/p>\n

This year is different.<\/p>\n

The 49ers spent March thinning their roster, taking special aim at higher-priced veterans and 30-something players. As a result, there\u2019s plenty of work to do in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n

Shanahan hinted at the positions of need while discussing how linebacker Dre Greenlaw, the free agent the team most wanted to retain, got away on a three-year deal with the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n

Shanahan was asked why the 49ers didn\u2019t strike a deal with Greenlaw before free agency when they were the only team allowed to negotiate with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s negotiating tactics and everything. It\u2019s also not just one player at a time. You\u2019re working 20 things at a time \u2014 you\u2019re trying to get a backup tackle, you\u2019re trying to get a quarterback, you\u2019re working on linebackers, you\u2019re working on safeties, you\u2019re working on all these positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers were able to find a backup quarterback in Mac Jones. And they brought in a pair of free-agent safeties in Richie Grant and Jason Pinnock. The other positions mentioned \u2014 as well as some additional ones \u2014 remain either empty or light. Shanahan discussed those spots on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Defensive line:<\/strong>\u00a0This rose to the top of the draft to-do list after the team parted ways with 2024 Week 1 starters Javon Hargrave, Maliek Collins and Leonard Floyd last month. Shanahan said he was particularly excited about hiring Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator because he watched Saleh help rebuild the 49ers defensive line beginning in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went through it with him once before,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cAnd we did a pretty good job at it. And we learned a lot going through it. And he\u2019s only learned that much more having to do it again on another staff (the New York Jets).\u201d<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Shanahan, Saleh, et al., whiffed on their initial defensive revamp in 2017. The team drafted defensive lineman Solomon Thomas and linebacker Reuben Foster in the first round that year and neither played up to expectations. Foster, in fact, was kicked off the roster a year and a half after he was drafted.<\/p>\n

Two years later, however, the 49ers boasted a far better line, one that featured Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Dee Ford. Shanahan on Tuesday called it \u201cone of the best D-lines in the history of football.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the goal is to eventually reach the level of that 2019 defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at our breakout year in \u201919, that was the second year of a third-round pick in Fred Warner, the third year of a fifth-round pick in George Kittle and the first year of a fifth-round pick in Greenlaw,\u201d he said. \u201cThen I think it was the third year of a sixth-round pick in D.J. Jones. We had a lot of draft guys that we were able to work with and build.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers used six draft picks on defensive linemen between 2017 and \u201919. Look for them to take a similar approach later this month.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Offensive line:<\/strong>\u00a0The 49ers wanted to retain 2024 swing tackle Jaylon Moore but were not going to match the two-year, $30 million deal he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew we had a really good roster, but I didn\u2019t know our swing tackle would make $15 million on the free-agent market,\u201d general manager John Lynch said on Monday.<\/p>\n

As it stands now, Spencer Burford, who until 2024 had solely been a guard in San Francisco, is the top swing-tackle candidate, though the team could add a player in the draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s capable of playing really all the positions,\u201d Shanahan said of Burford. \u201cSo it\u2019s really where he can help us out the most and where he can get the most comfortable at.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t sound as if guard and center were quite as high on the priority list. Though center Jake Brendel draws plenty of criticism outside the organization, he\u2019s got support within it. Shanahan said he didn\u2019t envision a competition for the starting spot between Brendel and Matt Hennessy, who signed in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Jake\u2019s up there (among the top centers) when it comes to his pass protection,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of these guys get mismatched against head-up nose (tackles) and some of the D-tackles they\u2019ve got to go against. I think Jake does protection as good as anyone in this league. And I think he\u2019s always been a very good run player for us, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Hennessy might be part of the competition with Ben Bartch and Nick Zakelj for the starting left guard spot Aaron Banks manned the last three seasons.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Linebacker:<\/strong>\u00a0Shanahan said Dee Winters and Tatum Bethune would be among the players vying for the weakside and strongside linebacker spots during the offseason. Like Lynch on Monday, Shanahan said Winters must be more consistent to win a starting role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he showed flashes of that last year,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cHe plays to our style, he loves to run and hit. I think he got a taste of that last year, now he\u2019s working on his body. He\u2019s got to stay healthy so he can play the way he does through a 17-game season. But he\u2019s shown that potential, and we\u2019ll bring in some competition here in the draft, hopefully. \u2026 There\u2019s going to be a lot of open spots (at linebacker).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Running back:<\/strong>\u00a0Shanahan praised 2024 rookie Isaac Guerendo, whose late-season emergence prompted the 49ers to trade Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings for a fifth-round pick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was impressed with how tough he competed, how hard he ran,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cI think he ran harder as the year went (on), which is a really good sign for guys. Because if you run less hard as the year goes on you\u2019re probably not going to be running it too much in the future. I was impressed with the mentality he had.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also noted, however, that the 49ers have had to turn to their fourth-string running back in all but two of the seasons he\u2019s been their head coach. As it stands now, the 49ers have Christian McCaffrey, Guerendo, Patrick Taylor Jr. and unproven Israel Abanikanda at the position. Look for them to add to the running back mix later this month, especially after McCaffrey and Guerendo were in and out of the lineup with injuries last season and Deebo Samuel, who often moonlighted as a running back, was traded.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gonna find a way to take care of his body so he can stay healthy and get through an NFL season,\u201d Shanahan said of Guerendo. \u201cI think the future\u2019s bright for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kicker:<\/strong>\u00a0Though new special teams coordinator Brant Boyer is attending pro days and kicking camps this spring, Shanahan said Jake Moody\u2019s offseason competition likely will come in the form of a veteran who\u2019s signed following the draft.<\/p>\n

Shanahan was asked how Moody, who was a strong practice kicker last year, can improve his game-day performances via a kicker competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have them compete every day in practice, you get the preseason games and that\u2019s about all you can do,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I think when you bring in a guy and you make it a serious competition \u2014 which it will be \u2014 and he knows he\u2019s got to beat a veteran kicker out. As long as we bring in a guy who\u2019s capable of taking that job and Jake respects him, that\u2019s what puts pressure on him because you\u2019ve got to respect the guy you\u2019re going against.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shanahan insisted he\u2019s optimistic about the upcoming season despite all the roster building that still must occur. At multiple points during his Tuesday session, he drew a distinction between previous Aprils when the 49ers were beat up, recuperating during spring practices and ruing a devastating postseason loss with the offseason program that begins in three weeks. He said it reminds him of how he felt in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to go to work now more than I have in a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for our players to get back. I feel like I\u2019ve been away from them for too long. \u2026 I think we\u2019ll have a hell of a turnout with all of our guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Odds and ends<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Brock Purdy\u2019s agent likely smiled on Tuesday at the way 49ers CEO Jed York described his client.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you find somebody who\u2019s a top-10 quarterback that can help you continually win football games, you have to make that decision,\u201d York said of committing to a massive contract extension with Purdy.<\/p>\n

Figuring out how Purdy rates among NFL quarterbacks is at the root of ongoing negotiations. His new deal is expected to fetch between $50 and $60 million a year.<\/p>\n

Though contract talks currently appear to be at a standstill, York struck an optimistic tone about completing a deal just as Lynch and Shanahan had done earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s great,\u201d York said. \u201cEspecially when you combine him with Kyle (Shanahan) and you combine him with what we have, and he\u2019s a heck of a quarterback. And we want him to be here for a long, long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

York ended the approximately 12-minute session with this: \u201cI don\u2019t negotiate contracts, but any conversations I\u2019ve had with Brock personally have been great. I feel good. And when he\u2019s ready, we\u2019ll sit down and finish it. It shouldn\u2019t be that hard to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 York addressed reports the 49ers are interested in selling a 10 percent stake in the team. He said the Yorks routinely receive queries about selling part of the team and termed any potential sale a \u201cfamily asset allocation decision\u201d that will be discussed among family members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just one of those things where if there\u2019s an opportunity that makes sense, we would always explore that, but I\u2019m not sure what we\u2019re going to end up doing,\u201d York said. \u201cAnd if we do, we would try to find the right people who would help bolster everything that we\u2019re doing in and around the team, on the field, off the field and just make sure that we have good partners that are with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Shanahan said \u201cthere\u2019s a chance\u201d receiver Brandon Aiyuk could return from his ACL injury early in the season. Aiyuk recently received a positive progress report from his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too early in the process,\u201d Shanahan said of a definitive timeline. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to get closer to training camp (before) we see what that looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 The 49ers\u2019 top free-agent acquisition may have been Luke Farrell, a little-known tight end who signed a three-year deal worth as much as $20.25 million. Shanahan said the team was trying to replace blocker Charlie Woerner, whom the Atlanta Falcons signed away in free agency a year ago.<\/p>\n

He said Farrell was one of the better blockers in the league and was someone capable of handling defensive ends in pass protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cKittle\u2019s really good in pass protection,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cBut you don\u2019t always want to use a guy in pass protection when he\u2019s really good in routes and everything. So having another tight end with the length to block defensive ends is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 Shanahan said tight ends coach Brian Fleury has been given the additional title of run game coordinator. Fleury and offensive line coach Chris Foerster have been designing the team\u2019s run plays for the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
