49ers sign nine undrafted free agents. Who are they and will they contribute?

The 49ers on Tuesday officially added nine undrafted free agents to their offseason roster following their five-player haul from last week’s NFL draft.

Every significant position group, including quarterback, was addressed except for the offensive line, where it appears San Francisco has good depth after adding Trent Williams in a trade with Washington on Saturday to replace Joe Staley.

Let’s go through the additions.

DeMarkus Acy (6-2, 195), cornerback, Missouri

Acy wasn’t invited to the combine despite starting for three seasons in the SEC. He’s long. (31 3/8-inch arms) and physical, making him a good fit in San Francisco’s scheme. He was expected by some observers to be a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick, but perhaps fell out of the draft because of some sloppy tendencies, including a knack for being too grabby with receivers. The 49ers could use depth at cornerback, so Acy could make the team with a strong showing in training camp, if training camp happens.

Darrion Daniels (6-3, 311), defensive line, Nebraska

The 49ers could have a heated competition at the backup spots along the defensive line now that Sheldon Day and Anthony Zettel signed elsewhere. Daniels projects to nose tackle, where the 49ers currently have D.J. Jones as their primary option and little else. Solomon Thomas, Jullian Taylor, Kentavius Street, Kevin Givens and Willie Henry Jr. will compete to back up Javon Kinlaw, Arik Armstead and Jones. Daniels spent his first four seasons at Oklahoma State before joining the Cornhuskers last season, where he earned Big Ten honorable mention.

Chris Finke (5-9, 186), receiver, Notre Dame

Finke, in four seasons for the Irish, recorded 106 catches for 1,251 yards and eight touchdowns. A team captain as a senior, Finke profiles as an option in the slot, where the 49ers already have a slew of bodies, including Richie James Jr., Trent Taylor and Jalen Hurd. Finke was a walk-on in college who also served as a punt returner during the last three seasons. Finke has modest speed (4.57 seconds in the 40-yard dash) but good explosiveness (40-inch vertical jump).

Jonas Griffith (6-4, 250), linebacker, Indiana State

Griffith led the Missouri Valley Conference with 106 tackles last season and became the third player in school history to reach triple digits in three straight seasons. Griffith isn’t particularly fast (4.85). He was home-schooled until his senior year in high school, which was also his first in organized football. The 49ers don’t have much room at linebacker with Fred Warner, Kwon Alexander, Dre Greenlaw, Mark Nzeocha and Azeez Al-Shaair in tow, but perhaps Griffith could take advantage of practice squads expanding to 12 this season.

Chase Harrell (6-4, 249), tight end, Arkansas

Harrell is the second tight end from the SEC joining the 49ers after the team used a sixth-round pick on Georgia’s Charlie Woerner over the weekend. But like Woerner, who will likely be a blocking tight end, Harrell is a former receiver who began his career there at Kansas before transferring in 2018. Harrell finished his college career with 37 catches for 396 yards and six touchdowns. He has good speed (4.53) and could be a better player than his production indicated. He’ll likely try to carve out a role as a “move” tight end.

JaMychal Hasty (5-8, 205), running back, Baylor

Will Hasty be the latest undrafted running back to excel for Kyle Shanahan? The 49ers traded away their most successful undrafted product in Matt Breida and received a fifth-round pick from the Dolphins on Saturday. Hasty doesn’t have Breida’s 4.4 speed, but he did catch 79 passes during his four seasons with the Bears, which could improve his chances at making an impact behind Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jerrick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson Jr.

Josh Hokit (6-1, 225), fullback, Fresno State

The 49ers previously didn’t have a backup to Kyle Juszczyk that doesn’t play tight end. At minimum, Hokit could spell the veteran during practice and offer depth on the practice squad. Hokit played football and was also on the wrestling team for the Bulldogs. He was also a goal-line back, finishing second on the team with nine rushing touchdowns. He had 287 yards on 75 carries (3.8 average) in 2019.

Jared Mayden (6-0, 205), safety, Alabama

Mayden was a full-time starter for the Tide last season and finished fourth in the SEC with four interceptions. The 49ers didn’t draft a safety and could use depth behind Jimmie Ward and Tarvarius Moore. Mayden played strong safety at Alabama while working with Giants second-round pick Xavier McKinney. Maden has cornerback in his background and could provide some versatility to San Francisco’s secondary.

Broc Rutter (6-2, 204), quarterback, North Central

Rutter set school records for completion rate (71 percent) yards (4,591), touchdowns (56) during his final season in which he helped the Cardinals win the Division III national title. Rutter becomes the fourth quarterback on the roster, which might not be a bad spot to be given that same spot was held by Nick Mullens in 2017 before ascending to the backup job. C.J. Beathard is entering the final year of his contract, which could clear the room for Rutter at some point in the future after developing on the practice squad.
