During the 2022 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers added nine new players to their roster.

Through Rounds 2-7, the 49ers selected:

No. 61: DL Drake Jackson, USC

No. 93: RB Tyrion Davis-Price, LSU

No. 105: WR Danny Gray, SMU

No. 134: OL Spencer Burford, UTSA

No. 172: CB Samuel Womack, Toledo

No. 187: OL Nick Zakelj, Fordham

No. 220: DL Kalia Davis, UCF

No. 221: DB Tariq Castro-Fields, Penn State

No. 262: QB Brock Purdy, Iowa State

"Needless to say, we're incredibly excited with our day today (Day 2). I think it was incredibly productive," general manager John Lynch said. "We're not used to sitting back and waiting. It was tough but I'm glad we did because it allowed us to make these picks today."

Take a look at how 49ers players, universities around the country, NFL media and more reacted to the 49ers 2022 draft picks:

Speed and playmaking ability. They’ll make some noise for sure. Go @49ers https://t.co/XO9xI5Mu0g

Just when I think I'm out, John Lynch pulls me back in.

I LOVE Drake Jackson for this defense. Huge need for them and his speed rush is perfect for the scheme.

Drake Jackson on when the 49ers called him to pick him: “It felt like I walked outside of my body. I couldn’t believe it. My whole life has been dedicated to this moment."

I love this fit for TDP. Go watch all the success he had in gap scheme runs in 2021. In the #Florida game he had a #LSU record 287 yds, and 3 TD’s. He had 36 attempts that day and it was mostly gap scheme runs (power/counter). He’ll thrive in the #49ers run system. #NFLDraft https://t.co/HCRzjmu147
