Brock Purdy sparked a second-week showcase for San Francisco, delivering a near-elite 90.5 PFF grade and setting the tone for the offense as the 49ers trimmed the roster with depth-chart testing in mind. Demarcus Robinson and Robbie Chosen both flashed as reliable mid-range options, while Drake Nugent held up well at center and Colton McKivitz and Spencer Burford anchored the line on pass protection and run blocks. Jeff Wilson Jr. provided efficient touches, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn struggled in spots—an important reminder that roster battles still matter in SF. On defense, top overall grades came from Jaylen Mahoney and Chase Lucas, with Kalia Davis anchoring interior disruption and a stingy coverage group led by Mahoney and Jakob Robinson.

Overall, the 49ers showed growth across several units, balancing standout starters with a healthy dose of competition for meaningful roles. The combination of Purdy’s precision, a versatile receiving corps, and a fortified line could translate into more consistent weekly upside if the defense maintains pressure and the depth players push for meaningful snaps in the regular season.
