0:00It's April 27, I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and built for football fans. The San Francisco 49ers just wrapped up the 2026 NFL draft by grabbing the 5th most athletic rookie class league-wide, according to RIS scores. Last season, their offense struggled hard for explosive plays. Only 23 completions over 20 yards, barely ahead of Cam Ward's college, stats. Christian McCaffrey didn't bust the 20 yard run into late, and they ranked near the bottom in yards before contact. They needed speed everywhere, from the backfield to the lines. McCaffrey's top-end burst hit a career low, blocking wasn't a lead, and the D-line lacked quick get-offs beyond Bryce Huff. So the Niners loaded up on freaks, replacing Huff with Ramello height at pick 70, whose 40 time and jumps scream-biring young vibes from the radams. Fans and analysts are buzzing because this flips the script on a grinded-out attack that
1:00couldn't flip field position. Speed at skill spots was missing, hurting Robert Salis' schemes upfront defensive tackles just couldn't chase. Now with CMC healthy, these athletes could spark big returns in pressure. New gyms like running back black crushed averages, a 4.4540, 37.5 vertical, 10-foot-5 broad. As D.T. Halton mirrors a turbo Kevin Gibbons, or Javon Hargrave, all 90th percentile tester. Day 3. Hall's priceock, dugger, and OT crews bring length, speed, and Hall of Fame comps like Trent Williams. This athletic confusion sets the Niners up to run freer, hit home runs, and dominate trenches. Watch how it pays off when training camp heats up.
