I think Schrader not being drafted was a blessing in disguise for him.
He could have been "drafted" by an incompetent organization like the Jets or Panthers and been a misfit to scheme. Instead as a UDFA he was free to chose his own landing spot and he couldn't have picked a better one than the 49ers. Their blocking scheme is a perfect fit for Schrader. In fact, I've watched a shite ton of 49ers football since the Rams moved and more than once I marveled at how much Cody's runs resemble Christian McCaffery and now he gets to be mentored under him.
I've also been surprised how many of the San Francisco reporters have singled him out as someone who could buck the odds and make their 53 man roster. He's not as well kept a secret as I thought he might be. I can't remember which reporter said it, but one commented they can't imagine how (if the same Schrader shows up) the head coach will agree to cut him. That's the Schrader we know.
I'm not prepared to go that far but have no doubt, at worst, he'll make their practice squad this year with a great chance to stick on their active roster in 2025. We all know he won't be outworked, so all that's left is the opportunity and this one is solid gold for him. Be glad, 98. I think he's found his new home.

I'll be glad when he cashes that well deserved fat check.

49ers, Texans, Rams, or the Dolphins since the all run the same scheme. As a 49er fan I’m stoked to have him and hope he makes the roster but at worse I think he starts the year on the practice squad. Niners always have one or two running backs go down with injury.
