Top Needs:ย Edge, DB, OL
The San Francisco 49ers made do with an injury-plagued defense in 2025, but they could use significant improvements on that side of the ball. Nick Bosa may or may not be at 100 percent after last year's torn ACL. Former defensive coordinator Robert Saleh won't be around to patch things together.

San Francisco especially needs help with its 25th-ranked pass defense. Whether or not Bosa is healthy, the 49ers need another edge-defenderโ2025 first-round pick Mykel Williams is also recovering from a torn ACL. Cornerback and safety are also defensive needs.
Offensively, San Francisco could use depth at guard and insurance at tackle, though Trent Williams'ย two-year extensionย makes tackle a bit less of a priority.
Expect prospects such as Oregon safetyย Dillon Thieneman, Clemson cornerbackย Avieon Terrell, and Texas A&M edge-rusherย Cashius Howellย to interest the 49ers in Round 1.
The list of prospects GM John Lynch is likely to consider on Day 2 includes Georgia Tech linemanย Keylan Rutledge, South Carolina safetyย Jalon Kilgore, and South Carolina cornerย Brandon Cisse.
