Kaelon Black under contract"},"content":{"rendered":"

The San Francisco 49ers on Friday announced the signings of six of their eight draft picks<\/a> this year, including wide receiver De\u2019Zhaun Stribling,<\/a> to four-year contracts.<\/p>\n

Other players now under contract<\/a> are running back Kaelon Black, offensive lineman Carver Willis, cornerback Ephesians Prysock, linebacker Jaden Dugger, and offensive lineman Enrique Cruz Jr.<\/p>\n

Financial details were not disclosed, but based on draft slot,<\/a> Stribling\u2019s deal would be the most expensive at $13,376,884, followed by Black ($6,829,310), Willis ($5,315,005), Prysock ($5,034,050), Dugger ($4,748,360), and Cruz Jr. ($4,624,478).<\/p>\n

The only players from this year\u2019s 49ers draft class who remain unsigned are defensive linemen Romello Height, a third-round pick, and Gracen Halton, who was taken in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

The 49ers have also signed several undrafted free agents, including defensive linemen Bryson Eason (Tennessee), Mikail Kamara (Indiana), and James Thompson Jr. (Illinois), receivers Wesley Grimes (North Carolina State) and Will Pauling (Notre Dame), tight end Khalil Dinkins (Penn State), and safety Jalen Stroman (Notre Dame).<\/p>\n

Stribling was taken in the second round, 33rd overall, out of Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

In his five-year collegiate career<\/a>, which included stops at Washington State and Oklahoma State, Stribling had 261 catches for 2,964 yards and 23 touchdowns. He might be needed to contribute immediately after Jauan Jennings agreed to join the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year, $13 million deal, which was announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said Thursday<\/a> that Stribling is a \u201cbig, fast, powerful football player, and he can help our offense in so many ways with the ball in his hand, as a route runner. Without the ball in his hand is a huge strength of his, the way he plays, his mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friday was the second and final day of the 49ers\u2019 rookie mini-camp at Levi\u2019s Stadium. The team\u2019s offseason continues<\/a> with organized team activities from May 27-29, and June 1 and June 3-4. The 49ers\u2019 mandatory minicamp will be held June 9-10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers on Friday announced the signings of six of their eight draft picks this year,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[128945,17640,128946,101,296,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-306480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-dezhaun-stribling-kaelon-black","tag-nfl-draft","tag-niners","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
