49ers UPDATE: Trade mayhem

The San Francisco 49ers are entering draft week with maximum optionality and that’s exactly how John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan like it.

In this video, we break down the evolving trade landscape and why San Francisco could go in multiple directions. From potential blockbuster scenarios involving Dexter Lawrence to the possibility of moving players like Dee Winters, the front office is clearly keeping every door open.

We also dive into key draft targets the 49ers have been evaluating, including hybrid linebacker Kendall Daniels and offensive lineman Alex Harkey, and what their visits signal about the team’s priorities.

Plus, a deeper look at the bigger picture: how the 49ers balance draft capital, roster flexibility, and the long-term outlook—especially when it comes to cornerstone players like Trent Williams.

  5. Nick Emmanwori ran a 4.38 40yd time and scored a perfect 10/10 RAS (Relative Athletic Score)

    Kendal Daniels isn't anywhere near those stats

    Please dont draft any slow players

    This league is FASTER than EVER

  7. Learn from Steve Young and the NFC Championship game against the Eagles years ago

    Get an Oline that is fit for a Super Bowl. The mystique of a 49er Super Bowl offense runs through a great QB. Protect what we have: Purdy and Mac 10. What’s the use of Purdy gets injured in week 3 and Mac Jones in week 10. Our o-line can not block the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy ran 400 yards scrambling left and right against that Seahawks d-line in the playoffs. We will lose to that Seahawks D-line again if we do not bolster the O-Line

  8. Proctor left Bama for a semester at Iowa to get a bigger bag of money to return to Bama . He never worked out with his teammates at Iowa, ballooned up to 380# and left before spring practices began.

  10. Take the best pro level ready player. Cant overreach for a need player. No more potential players. Need to see production on tape. Need performance over potential.

  11. How can you guys seriously be considering D-line? We drafted three defensive lineman in the first FOUR rounds last year (including an edge in the first round) remember? Are we admitting that we blew those pics?

    We have already improved the defense with our free agent signings, guys coming back from injury and our three rookies getting better in their second year.

    We are in desperate need of offensive line help. None of the free agents OL's signed this year in the offseason are starters. They're all backups. We have done NOTHING to improve the starting offensive line. Look at Purdy's pressure rate, CMC yards per carry WAS 40TH IN THE LEAGUE LAST YEAR and we were 25th out of 32 teams in running back yards before first contact. The offensive line couldn't open holes and they couldn't pass protect. Purdy's mobility is the only thing that stopped the sack numbers from being through the roof.

    We have to win now. Our Super Bowl window is closing. Package Mac, #27 (and a fourth rounder this year or a third next year, if necessary) and move up and grab the best guard or tackle on the board. Take a center in round two.

    If we don't improve the STARTING offensive line, 2026 we just like 2025. We will play good against the bad teams and struggle against the good teams.

    All you have to do is look at the three Seattle games to know how bad our offensive line really is.

  12. We need to upgrade our O line. Purdy scrambling for over 400 yards against the Seahawks was ridiculous. The run game wasn’t great either. Trent Williams won’t last forever either.

  16. Keep winters not worth the pick you would get with the lack of talent in this draft in later rounds. Fred, Greenlaw, and Winters is nice plus we all know injuries happen.
