While speaking with The Athletic, 49ers vice president of player personnel Adam Peters discussed how this year's draft may carry more weight than years prior. Following a season with a widespread loss of revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to a drop in the salary cap. Although the league hasn't announced the 2021 salary cap number yet, it could end up being slightly higher than $175 million, far below the initial projections of $210 million. "With the cap going down so much, these draft picks are very, very valuable, and this is a very important draft for everyone," said Peters. "Because everyone's going to get crunched, with the exception of a couple of teams, in terms of being able to sign free agents."
