The open tampering period of NFL free agency begins on Monday. Here is how I rank the 49ers top position of need and why.
5.) Center
Jake Brendel stepped into the 49ers starting lineup in 2022 and didn’t miss a game. Brendel is set to be an unrestricted free agent and may end up outside San Francisco’s price range.
If they lose Brendel, San Francisco will be without a true center on their roster.
Nick Zakelj and Jason Poe are two options currently signed with the team. A sixth-round pick in 2022, Zakelj was a four-year starter at tackle for Fordham.
