Now that the NFL Draft is over, the roster for the San Francisco 49ers is essentially set for the 2018 season. These are the questions the team will have to answer in these upcoming months.

At this time year ago, little was known about the depth chart for the San Francisco 49ers. Outside of a few positions, most were open battles for the starters.

This time around, though, appears to be much different. The roster is far more solidified right now than it was last season.

And now that free agency and the draft have been completed, San Francisco is done for the most part adding to its team.

Running back Jerick McKinnon, center Weston Richburg and cornerback Richard Sherman headline the free-agent acquisitions. Right tackle Mike McGlinchey, wide receiver Dante Pettis and linebacker Fred Warner are the team’s top draft selections.

Even though mostly everything is settled for the 49ers, there are still some lingering questions. Here are three they will have to answer in this offseason.
