The Niners’ draft class just got larger. On Tuesday, GM John Lynch announced the signings of nine more NFL rookies:
- DeMarkus Acy, CB (Missouri)
- Darrion Daniels, DL (Nebraska)
- Chris Finke, WR (Notre Dame)
- Jonas Griffith, LB (Indiana St.)
- Chase Harrell, TE/DE (Arkansas)
- Jamycal Hasty, RB (Baylor)
- Josh Hokit, FB (Fresno St.)
- Jared Mayden, S (Alabama)
- Broc Rutter, QB (North Central)
A few players in this group received larger-than-usual guarantees, (Twitter links via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle). That list includes: Daniels ($105K), Finke ($95K), Hasty ($90K), and Mayden ($50K).
Daniels played at Oklahoma State before transferring to Nebraska as a graduate last year. In his season with the Huskers, he captured Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors, managed 1.5 sacks, and even came away with an interception while playing on the interior.
Over the course of his time with the Fightin’ Irish, Finke caught 106 passes for 1,251 yards and eight touchdowns. He also showed his speed in the return game with 532 total yards off of 63 punt returns. The bonuses paid to Finke and Daniels indicate that they’ll get a decent chance at making the roster in the fall.
Rutter, meanwhile, will have his work cut out for him. The 49ers already have Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard under contract as backups to starter Jimmy Garoppolo.
niners could really use an upgrade at QB2. maybe even QB3.
Not according to anyone who knows what they’re talking about. Not insinuating that you don’t, but everyone within the organization loves Nick Mullens. QB3 is a different story though.
this is not fresnOOO
49ers sign ACY, still seeking Ducey !!
JAMYCAL signs with 49ers.
Was it a HASTY decision ???
stop.
I went to school with Hokit’s dad. The kid is a grinder. Tough, too. Might be a better wrestler than football player.
Forgot Salvon Ahmad, RB Washington
If Chris Finke does not become a hall of fame WR for the Patriots I’m going to retire from my sports writing career.
When you write the word “sports” that doesn’t mean you’re a sportswriter.
Hah!
