An intriguing but low-stakes undrafted depth add that carries modest upside for San Francisco's defensive line. Multiple headlines highlight Valdez outperforming peers in camp, suggesting genuine developmental promise. His elevation to the active roster ahead of a game signals coaches see real potential, not just a camp body. Fans have latched onto his 'Hulk' nickname and underdog UDFA story as an early favorite. Valdez likely secures a rotational role if he continues impressing, but making the 53-man long-term remains his steep challenge.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Sebastian's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DTs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DT market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Sebastian is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
