With their second-to-last pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, the 49ers selected Michigan wideout Ronnie Bell.
Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud shared time as the 49ers’ No. 3 receiver last season. Jennings caught 35 passes for 416 yards, with one touchdown reception, while McCloud had 14 catches for 243 yards and one touchdown reception.
The 49ers wanted to add another wide receiver with Aiyuk nearing the end of his contract and likely to command a big-money deal. The 49ers are expected to pick up the fifth-year option on Aiyuk for the 2024 season, as the 25-year-old led the 49ers with 78 receptions for 1,015 yards with eight touchdown receptions.With so many other high-priced players on the team, it remains to be seen if the 49ers will be able to retain Aiyuk on a long-term contract extension.
Samuel was limited to 13 games last season due to injuries. He caught 56 passes for 632 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 232 yards and three touchdowns.
