The scarcity of first-round picks since the ill-fated trade for Trey Lance in 2020 has reduced the chance of immediate impact rookies being drafted to the team.
By both design and circumstance, many rookies have been forced into the lineup, and pretty much all of them have shown up on film.
Seven of the 49ers' eight-person strong draft class are currently on the team's active roster, showcasing a shift in rookie utilization.
Undrafted free-agent Evan Anderson has also carved out a place in the team's rotation, further highlighting the effectiveness of the current rookie class.
