DRAFT TRACKER

The 49ers lost their primary starter at left guard this offseason (Spencer Burford), while their starters at left tackle (Trent Williams) and center (Jake Brendel) are both deep into their 30s with no clear line of succession at either spot. Some young reinforcements are in order. In an ideal world, Nick Bosa bounces back quickly from his ACL tear and Mykel Williams breaks out in Year 2, giving San Francisco a fearsome duo off the edge. The Niners can’t afford to bank on that, though, not after watching injuries decimate their defense last season. The squad tied for the fewest sacks in a season since 2022 (20), and it could only muster the second-lowest pressure rate in the league (26.7%), per Next Gen Stats. Bryce Huff, who tied for the team lead with four sacks in 2025, retired in the offseason. -- by Dan Parr
