The 49ers’ updated 30-visit list has a new tight end and pass rusher
A week from today, we’ll be talking about which prospect the San Francisco 49ers selected on the first night of the draft and looking at potential options for the team in the second round. The majority of the 49ers’ 30 visits have been at one position. As of a week ago, at least. This week, […]
Why we shouldn’t rule out this position for the 49ers in the 1st round
Many are under the impression that it’s a coin flip in the first round between wide receiver or edge rusher for the San Francisco 49ers in the first round. Mock drafters are convinced the Niners will finally draft Trent Williams successor. One NFL Insider believes the 49ers will look to the secondary for help as […]
Confidence meter: Which positions are the 49ers targeting in the 2026 NFL Draft?
We’re just one week away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the question surrounding the San Francisco 49ers is who they’ll take with the No. 27 pick in the first round. There’ve been quite a few prospects mocked to the 49ers, with wide receivers and offensive linemen being the most frequent, but San Francisco has […]
Can the 49ers have a successful draft without drafting a wide receiver?
While it is widely assumed the San Francisco 49ers are going to select a wide receiver at some point during the 2026 NFL draft, can the 49ers have a successful draft without taking a wide receiver? At this point, with the draft so close, draft scenarios need to be figured out. Rather than trying to […]
Ranking hot, lukewarm, and cold prospects for the 49ers at each pick
NFL teams are going through various exercises ahead of the NFL Draft. The goal is to prepare yourself for any potential unexpected scenario while you’re on the clock. We’ll work through a scenario I did with Rob Lowder, where we labeled each prospect “hot,” “lukewarm,” and “cold” in each round. If it’s not self-explanatory, “hot” […]
Will the 49ers prioritize ready-now players or potential in the 2026 NFL Draft?
It’s official, folks. We’re just one week away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers are right in the mix with the No. 27 pick, which will be very crucial as they look to make a bigger push for a championship this season. So far, the 49ers have had quite a solid […]
49ers Mock Draft round up: A lot of love for Caleb Lomu
You can tell when information gets leaked in the NFL. For example, this past week, three separate mock drafts had the Dallas Cowboys not only trading up, but to No. 6. We’re not seeing the same prospects being mocked to the San Francisco 49ers. Sure, there is some overlap, but the lack of consistency is […]
49ers News: One week away
49ers host Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor on pre-draft visit“Proctor posted strong production in the 2025 season, earning an 86.1 overall offensive grade, an 81.1 run-blocking grade, and an 84.2 pass-blocking grade.

What history can tell us about the 49ers first round pick in 2026
The debate rages on for the San Francisco 49ers’ first-round pick amongst fans and analysts, and which position the team will address. The three positions are offensive line (tackle, specifically), wide receiver, and defensive line (EDGE, specifically). With the top-30 visits, team needs, and athletic profiles as a guide for a prediction, from one mock […]
The 49ers continue to look at projected first round offensive tackles
The San Francisco 49ers could finally be looking to select Trent Williams’s replacement in the 2026 NFL Draft. On Tuesday, Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu, projected to be a first-round pick, posted that he was in the building at the 49ers facility, confirming a visit ahead of the draft. Then, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared […]
Mike Evans reportedly has his new jersey number with the 49ers
We still don’t have official jersey numbers for the San Francisco 49ers’ new additions this offseason. There’s a handful of names, like Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Osa Odighizuwa, Robert Jones, and Brett Toth, all without numbers. As long as he’s been in the public eye, Mike Evans has worn the same number. Since 2012, when […]
Should the 49ers use one of their Day 3 picks on a linebacker?
The San Francisco 49ers are hosting Oklahoma defender Kendal Daniels for a visit, per NFL Insider Aaron Wilson. Daniels is 6’5, 242 pounds. He was more of a hybrid defender for Brent Venables’ defense at Oklahoma. He’s walked down on the line of scrimmage, played in the slot, or played as a strong or weakside […]
The 49ers hosted an offensive lineman projected to go in the 1st round
The San Francisco 49ers will be busy this week. Former Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. will be in the building on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the Niners hosted an offensive lineman who has been slotted in the late first round in most mock drafts. According to his Instagram, former Utah lineman Caleb Lomu was at […]
49ers News: Hopefully Christian McCaffrey can do his “animal movements” against more open defenses
49ers’ Christian McCaffrey breaks down viral workout that’s turning heads“Those are called animal movements,” McCaffrey shared. “I actually got these from a bunch of UFC fighters way back in the day, and it’s a cool way to do a lot of strength through full range of motion and flexibility exercises to kind of prep your […]
The 49ers might look to add some competition at…punter?
The San Francisco 49ers did not re-sign punter Thomas Morstead this offseason. Instead, they elected to add former Pittsburgh Steelers punter Corliss Waitman. The 31-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Niners during free agency. NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that special teams coordinator Brant Boyer met virtually with former Syracuse punter Jack Stonehouse on […]
Day 3 options for the 49ers to address the offensive line
Each draft season, 49ers fans scream about investing in the offensive line with valuable draft capital. The organization has a philosophy of waiting until later in the draft for offensive linemen or developing players with skill sets that fit Kyle Shanahan’s scheme. The highest draft picks for linemen have been tackle Mike McGlinchey, guard Aaron […]
The 49ers will host a projected 4th round DT on a 30 visit this week
The San Francisco 49ers plan to host former Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan, a 6’4″, 313-pound defensive tackle projected to be selected in the early 100s, according to the consensus big board. McClellan’s measurements stand out in a positive light, as his height, weight, and 34″ arm length are all in the 70th percentiles. Even […]
49ers are logical trade down candidate for one major reason
The 2026 NFL Draft is inching closer and closer, and all eyes are on what the San Francisco 49ers will do at No. 27. Having a late first-round pick in a draft that isn’t considered very top-heavy has led to a lot of speculation on who the 49ers could consider with their first selection. The […]
49ers News: Gonna be a long night next Thursday
49ers send new contract proposal to Trent Williams, pushing to resolve dispute before NFL Draft“As we hear it, the 49ers made another push to try to get closure in this situation and sent over a revised contract to Williams within the last few days,” La Canfora wrote. “League sources indicated there is a chance this […]
Who could be an outside the box draft pick at No. 27 for the 49ers?
The 2026 NFL Draft is inching closer and closer, with the San Francisco 49ers holding the No. 27 overall pick. As expected, mock drafts have been flowing, with several positions being projected to the 49ers as they look to shore up the remaining few holes on their roster. A majority of those mocks have included […]
2 top-tier athletic options in the first 2 rounds for the 49ers at EDGE
The San Francisco 49ers are penciled in to select an edge rusher, or add one via trade, at some point during draft weekend. When you’re picking at the tail end of the first round, the odds of you landing an impact player on the EDGE are slim. That’s not an opinion. That’s based on history. […]
The 49ers willing to make Trent Williams the 7th-highest paid left tackle, per report
The San Francisco 49ers brass seem confident that they’ll work out a deal with left tackle Trent Williams, ensuring that he remains in the Bay Area for a couple of more seasons. Williams’ current deal has a base salary of $32.2 million in 2026. There are no remaining guarantees, which is why Williams is seeking […]
One player the 49ers could potentially trade for if the draft doesn’t fall their way
The upcoming NFL Draft is expected to have more trades due to the lack of depth. It makes sense for a team like the San Francisco 49ers to potentially move up, whether that’s if a prospect falls in the first round or if they feel like they need to jump into the third round. There […]
The 49ers have another 30-visit with a projected 2nd round wide receiver
Ian Rapoport reported the San Francisco 49ers have another 30-visit. This one is with former Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell.
