Heading into the offseason, it’s no surprise that the San Francisco 49ers are in need of defensive linemen, with both edge rushers and defensive tackles being priorities heading into free agency and the NFL Draft.
While the need, especially on the interior, is a pressing one, San Francisco is well-equipped to find quality replacements, as they have the No. 11 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, while also holding seven picks in the first four rounds.
The 49ers are looking to get younger, and have a big opportunity to do so with the draft this year, potentially even doubling down along the defensive line to get game-changers for the future.
