The newest 49ers convene this weekend for their first NFL minicamp, where they'll spend three days running and grunting, as well as dodging the heavy equipment required for that major construction project.

The 49ers will have running backs, fullbacks, wide receivers and tight ends at their minicamp this weekend.

Now that we are into May and the 49ers have signed their undrafted free agents, the roster is more or less set for training camp.
