The team will need a new left guard and perhaps a backup running back, depending on how they feel about Jordan James\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Defensively, the secondary could stand to get faster, while the pass rush is once again a need. The 49ers could have as many as five new starters by the time Week 1 rolls around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Today, we are going to flip the switch and talk about which positional group you feel strongest about. Is there one?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It goes without saying that you can poke holes in any argument, even a quarterback. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-rumors\/156268\/49ers-swap-day-2-picks-with-the-vikings-in-hypothetical-mac-jones-trade\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trading Mac Jones<\/a> is a risky proposition after watching your quarterback suffer an injury in Week 1. That has to be at the back of the front office\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 49ers just drafted three defensive linemen in 2025, yet here we are wondering whether they will use another early-round pick or sign a free agent to enhance their interior pass rush.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">How much recency bias will factor into the decisions made this offseason? Week 18 and the Divisional Round games were the first time in a long, long time that Kyle Shanahan\u2019s offenses looked helpless. We know Bosa and Fred Warner will return to their typical difference-making selves, but is there another player on that side of the ball that you can sell yourself on with conviction?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Staying healthy so they can develop might be the story of 2026. Names like Ricky Pearsall and Mykel Williams were drafted in the first round, but we\u2019ve only seen flashes of what they bring to the table after they\u2019ve been banged up to start their careers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you had to narrow it down to one position, which one do you feel strongest about on the 49ers?
