Free agency is just days away, and with Richard Sherman now signed on with the team, Niner Noise looks at last-minute targets for the San Francisco 49ers to consider.

Well, the San Francisco 49ers landed cornerback Richard Sherman, longtime nemesis of the team. And I am absolutely ecstatic (read my article on why the 49ers should sign him here).

Now with Sherman locked up, the secondary looks like a very solid group. Sherman at No. 1 cornerback, up-and-coming player Ahkello Witherspoon at No. 2 cornerback and two very young and talented safeties in Jaquiski Tartt and Adrian Colbert.

After signing Sherman, I expect the 49ers to avoid giving up the big bucks to any more secondary players in free agency and, instead, target cornerback depth in the NFL Draft.

So who should the 49ers sign in the 2018 free agency period?

Here are three last-minute targets for the team to consider in the looming process.
