49ers continue D-line rebuild in Daniel Jeremiah’s 2026 NFL mock draft“”Hunter can hold the point against the run, and he showed flashes of his upside as a pass rusher at the Senior Bowl,” Jeremiah wrote. “Recent Super Bowl winners have featured waves of defensive linemen they can rotate.

When it comes to the offseason, much of the talk so far has been around where the San Francisco 49ers need to improve. Positions like wide receiver and defensive line have often been talked about, with the 49ers needing more production in both areas. But where is the team looking strong heading into 2026? Of […]
The evergreen question for the San Francisco 49ers this offseason: Can the team find George Kittle some help? It’s an ideal free-agent and draft class to do it in. Kittle suffered an Achilles injury in the playoffs, but is optimistic he’ll return to full form. Kittle will be 33 next season. While there are no […]
Welcome to the offseason, where we talk about what a player posts on their social media. In this instance, it’s not just any player. It’s one of the very best in the NFL. Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. In his story, there are multiple references to Crosby missing the Bay Area. Here’s one: […]
The 49ers’ 2025 draft was defined by a commitment to getting *a lot* bigger on the defensive side of the trenches, with the selections of two behemoths in Mykel Williams and Alfred Collins in the first two rounds supplemented by that of the, slightly, less formidable figure of CJ West in the fourth round. It […]
The San Francisco 49ers could stand to upgrade at wide receiver this offseason after what feels like an inevitable release of Brandon Aiyuk. The team will need a new left guard and perhaps a backup running back, depending on how they feel about Jordan James’s progress. Defensively, the secondary could stand to get faster, while […]
The San Francisco 49ers have a few holes to plug in the draft and free agency.

Barnwell proposes Mac Jones trade the 49ers might not be able to refuse“Vikings get: QB Mac Jones, 2027 third-round pick. 49ers get: 2026 second-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick (conditional), 2028 third-round pick (conditional). “The 2027 conditional pick would trigger based on Jones’ playing time with the Vikings,” Barnwell explained. “If he starts four games in […]
There’s this idea that the San Francisco 49ers should hold on to Mac Jones for another year for multiple reasons. One is in case of an injury to starter Brock Purdy. The Niners benefited tremendously from having a quality backup in 2025. Jones played about as well as any backup in recent memory, especially given […]
49ers reportedly hiring Jerry Gray for key defensive coach role “Gray brings decades of NFL experience as both a player and coach.

The San Francisco 49ers are hiring veteran defensive backs coach Jerry Gray to their coaching staff, according to CBS Sports’s Matt Zenitz.

49ers have reportedly discussed making significant front office hire“Kurtenbach said the 49ers have discussed hiring someone in the front office to serve as a de facto GM, and if they make a move like this, it could happen in the next two weeks. “There has been conversation about that,” Kurtenbach told Guerrera, regarding potential changes […]
So is it offensive or defensive line? The Athletic’s Matt Barrows has the defensive line getting the priority in the 2026 NFL Draft, along with a couple of wide receivers. In his recent mock, Barrows did a rundown of the 49ers’ seven selections in the draft. He didn’t just stop with the first or second […]

The San Francisco 49ers have a big offseason ahead of them, as they’ll have money to spend in free agency and don’t have too many major pending free agents, unlike last offseason. When it comes to needs for the 49ers, you can make an argument to add at several positions. But some of the more […]
Earlier in the week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter posted on Twitter, “With teams considering the upcoming free-agent and draft classes to be subpar, there could be an uptick in trade activity this offseason.” Popular names in the free agent class include 32-year-old Trey Hendrickson, 33-year-old Mike Evans, 33-year-old All-Pro Kevin Byard, and the rights to overpay […]
It was fun while it lasted. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted on Friday morning that the NFL informed all 32 teams in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance against the NFLPA and its “team report cards.” An arbitrator determined that the NFLPA’s conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any […]
CJ West would be forgiven for feeling satisfied with his efforts in his rookie season with the 49ers.
