San Francisco went 12-5 in 2025 and won a Wild Card game before a 41-6 Divisional Round loss to Seattle exposed depth issues. The roster was ravaged by injuries: Nick Bosa (ACL), Mykel Williams (ACL), George Kittle (Achilles in playoffs), Fred Warner (broken ankle).
| Round 1 | #27 |
| Round 2 | #58 |
| Round 4 | #127, #133, #138, #139 |
Traded 3rd-round pick (No. 92) to Cowboys for DT Osa Odighizuwa. Previously traded 5th-rounder to Eagles for Bryce Huff (who has since retired), 6th to Commanders for RB Brian Robinson, 7th to Texans for DT Khalil Davis. Received three compensatory 4th-round picks (133, 138, 139). Net: 6 picks remaining.
Critical Needs
The 49ers recorded a league-low 20 sacks in 2025 — the NFL's worst by a wide margin.
Brandon Aiyuk missed all of 2025 and is being released/traded.
Important Needs
Trent Williams will turn 38 in July and is embroiled in a contract standoff with a $39M cap hit.
Left guard is a clear hole.
The safety room lacks a true single-high free safety.
Depth Needs
Deommodore Lenoir is a solid CB1.
The trade for Osa Odighizuwa (from Dallas for a 3rd-round pick) was a significant move to address interior pass rush.
George Kittle tore his Achilles in the Wild Card game (Jan 11) and is targeting a return 'well before November' but realistically may miss the first several weeks.
- Signed WR Mike Evans (3 years, $60.4M) — addresses WR1 void from Aiyuk/Jennings departures, but still need a young WR2
- Traded for DT Osa Odighizuwa from Cowboys (cost: 3rd-round pick) — significantly upgrades interior D-line pass rush
- Signed LB Dre Greenlaw (1-year reunion deal) — fills LB2 need alongside Fred Warner, removes LB from critical needs
- Signed OT Vederian Lowe (2 years, $12M) — swing tackle depth, not a Williams replacement
- Signed OL Brett Toth (1-year deal) — interior OL depth, could compete at LG
