There’s no arguing against ESPN’s grades on two of the 49ers’ offseason moves
One month removed from the start of free agency, the San Francisco 49ers have made some solid moves. ESPN’s Seth Walder took a crack at grading the San Francisco 49ers’ two biggest free agency moves of the offseason in Mike Evans and Osa Odighizuwa—and it’s pretty positive. Since we like it when nice things are […]
The 49ers need a plan at left tackle — not necessarily a successor
Is figuring out life after Trent Williams important? Yes. The top priority of 2026? That’s questionable. Over the last few weeks, I’ve gone over some mock drafts and gone from banging the table for the San Francisco 49ers to figure out this left tackle thing to saying there really isn’t much they can do. By […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Jack Jones!
49ers add veteran CB Jack Jones, full-time starter the past two seasons (Paywall)“Jones started 33 of a possible 34 games in his past two seasons. Having started all 17 games for the Dolphins last season, the 2022 fourth-round draft pick made one interception, forced two fumbles and recorded six pass breakups. Jones started 16 of […]
49ers sign a cornerback who started in every game last year
The San Francisco 49ers hosted former Miami Dolphins cornerback Jack Jones on Friday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported he signed a one-year deal with the Niners. Jones started all 17 games for the Dolphins last season and played over 91 percent of the snaps. Jones also played nearly 1,000 snaps the year before with the Las […]
Who was the 49ers’ best first-round pick this century?
One of the most storied franchises in the NFL has seen success in each decade. For some teams, as we saw last season, hitting on your first-round picks is the quickest way to ascend as a team. For other teams, like the San Francisco 49ers, acquiring free agents in March or via trade has proven […]
Roger Goodell addresses 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan’s comments about playing in Australia: ‘His job is to win’
At the NFL meetings a couple of weeks ago, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said, ‘There’s not much benefit’ to playing overseas: “I don’t see any pro. I mean, it’s cool. It’s cool for the league to play globally. I think that’s awesome. But, um, as far as the team doing it, you […]
The 49ers have another 30 visit scheduled next week with a wide receiver
NFL Insider Aaron Wilson tweeted that Texas Tech’s Caleb Douglas has multiple visits scheduled next week, including one with the San Francisco 49ers. Douglas is listed at 6’3 1/2″, 206 pounds with 10 1/8 inch hands. He is not a small human. Athletically, one of his comps is Denzel Boston. Another is Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Douglas […]
Are the 49ers tipping their hands with their top-30 visits?
Two very popular names amongst the mock draft community will visit the San Francisco 49ers next week as top-30 visits. The overall theme of the top-30 visits so far is either wide receivers or EDGE rushers. Cooper, Jr., and Concepcion join Denzel Boston from Washington as the receivers who have visited. The EDGE group consists […]
Former 49ers backup CB Chase Lucas is headed to the NFC South
Last training camp, the San Francisco 49ers’ nickel that was the talk of the town was Chase Lucas. Even into the season when rookie Upton Stout had some initial struggles, fans were calling for Lucas to play. Ultimately, in a surprise to nobody, the 49ers knew who the better player was. When Lucas did play, […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, Cam Sample!
Barrows: 49ers draft crush: An offense that suddenly lacks YAC could use Omar Cooper Jr. (paywall)“Cooper’s been getting a lot of Samuel comparisons in the run-up to the draft due to the 27 missed tackles he forced last season. That’s the most of any wide receiver in this year’s class and is six more than […]
Why the 49ers signed an edge rusher 2 weeks ahead of the draft
The 49ers are likely to add an edge rusher in the 2026 NFL Draft in a fortnight’s time, but they have added some veteran depth at the position with a low-risk signing. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday that the Niners have signed Cam Sample to a one-year deal. Sample was a fourth-round pick […]
The 49ers face the challenge of drafting for the present and the future
The NFL draft is two weeks away in Pittsburgh, and the rumor mill is heating up about who the San Francisco 49ers will target at number 27 in the first round. EDGE rushers, wide receivers, and offensive linemen have been mentioned as potential selections. An EDGE rusher will have to be ready to play day […]
49ers mock draft round up: What if the Niners ignore a ‘need’ in the 1st round?
It feels like we’ve been conditioned for over a month now that the San Francisco 49ers are locked in on two positions and two positions only: Wide receiver and EDGE. Those will be the first two selections in some order. That may be the case. But it also assumes the board will either fall perfectly […]
A first-round receiver is listed as a ‘name to watch’ for the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have yet to work out a new contract with Trent Williams. Despite that, according to ESPN, left tackle is not viewed as a priority on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. The belief is that Williams’ age is impacting the 49ers’ decisions ahead of the draft, according to Nick Wagoner: Not […]
Which members of the 49ers’ roster should be concerned ahead of the draft?
The draft is one of the most exciting events on the NFL calendar. Despite the fact that trying to project how a college player’s abilities will translate to the next level is often an exercise in futility, the draft naturally creates optimism among franchises and their fans as rosters for the new season take some […]
The 49ers could be in uncharted territory next offseason
We’re almost at the 2026 NFL Draft, where the San Francisco 49ers will have six draft picks to use at their disposal. Only three of those selections are actually theirs, as the 49ers were awarded three third-round picks for free agent departures. So, the 49ers will head into the draft with their first-round pick (No. […]
Golden Nuggets: Two weeks until the 49ers draft their next ____
49ers evaluate Iowa State DT Domonique Orange after injury setback“A 1.68-second 10-yard split is elite for any defensive tackle, but for a player coming off a quad injury that wiped out his pre-draft process, it’s a statement,” Pauline wrote. Pauline reports that Orange measured 6-foot-2 and 321 pounds, impressed with a 31.5-inch vertical jump, 27 […]

Breaking down the dream and nightmare scenarios for the 49ers in the NFL Draft
Can you remember a time when the San Francisco 49ers had an outcome that was a dream scenario for them? Has it been since 2007, when the team landed Patrick Willis and Joe Staley, but also added Ray McDonald and Dashon Goldson? We’re not far removed from 2019, when the Niners were gifted Nick Bosa, […]
Could the 49ers trade out of the first round?
The San Francisco 49ers are just over two weeks away from the 2026 NFL Draft, where they hold the No. 27 overall pick. Heading into the draft, analysts have mocked a number of positions for the 49ers to target, including wide receiver, offensive line, and defensive line, which were some of the team’s biggest needs […]
How have the 49ers fared in draft day trades under this regime?
Draft day is very tricky. Players who were slam dunks for certain draft slots in the draft fall, teams reach for players who were considered available later, and there is always the crazy draft-day trade for extra picks or to move up. The San Francisco 49ers haven’t been shy about trading up or back under […]
Who are your draft crushes that you want to land on the 49ers?
We all have opinions about which positions the San Francisco 49ers should draft two weeks from now. Some believe specific prospects fit the best, while others will swear by certain players. Everybody has their draft crushes. Today, we’ll share those. To be clear, this does not mean the best players at their positions. For example, […]
49ers News: 49ers need to gain an edge from the draft
49ers draft scenarios: How team can address needs with first three picks (paywall)“Fourth round, No. 127: DE/OLB Trey Moore, Texas. Moore’s lack of elite traits will likely make him a Day 3 pick. Still, his smarts, consistency and effort suggest he could be a worthy fourth-round choice. At minimum, he has the makings of a […]
2 options at wide receiver for the 49ers in each round of the NFL Draft
The San Francisco 49ers have already upgraded their wide receiver room this offseason, and done so dramatically. Mike Evans gives the 49ers a red zone threat they’ve never had at the position under Kyle Shanahan. And despite any conflicting opinions on Evans, 19 miles per hour would have been a team-high at wide receiver last […]
Why a possible trade up for the 49ers in the NFL draft shouldn’t include any 2027 picks
The NFL draft presents many opportunities for franchises. The consensus big board rarely shakes out that way on draft day, players slide down the board, and trade-up opportunities present themselves. Making a move to trade up early is a bad process (Hello, 49ers front office). Playing the board and waiting for the right moment to […]
