Surprise pick: The Raiders will win regardless of who wins.
There are always a bunch of quality free agents on the Super Bowl teams and they're all getting a taste of how great the Raiders' facilities are.
Oren Burks has been a good 3rd LB for the Niners. Working with Warner and Greenlaw has made him better. I don't know if they hang on to him because they drafted Jalen Graham last year to take on that role.
Charlie Woerner has been a really solid TE2. They might keep him but they do have a couple TEs they drafted last year who might fill that slot.
Jon Feliciano has been really good at multiple OLine positions this year. I think they will try to keep him. He has probably been their second best OLinemen overall, although Banks was better before he got hurt.
Javon Kinlaw was a highly touted prospect who never lived up to his promise but has been really good as a rotational piece this year. Finally starting to show some of that draft promise on around 20 snaps a game. I think he might be ready to turn the corner and could be an underrated DT available this offseason.
Chase Young of course has the high upside. Part of me want them to try to keep him but he takes too many plays off. I am torn. He could be one of the best in the league but he doesn't seem to have the drive to be the best that the Bosa's, Crosby's, Watt's, Garrett's do.
Ray Ray McCloud is also an interesting guy. Super fast, can return kicks, punts, play the deebo role when Deebo is hurt. I don't think he gets enough touches on the 49ers because he is stuck behind so many great playmakers. He could be a great pick up for a team that wants to develop him into a Deebo lite. He is smaller and not as physical as Deebo though.
That's the guys I think would be good fits that are FAs from 49ers. I expect they will keep a couple of them but certainly not all.

I'm excited to see who shows up for the big game. Feliciano is probably the most intriguing of those guys for us and meets our most desperate need.
