We are a week away from the start of free agency, and it’s fair to say the San Francisco 49ers have all sorts of decisions to figure out on both sides of the ball. On offense, they need a playmaker or two on offense, a long-term option to eventually replace Joe Staley, maybe a guard to compete, and a tight end to pair with George Kittle. On defense, they need help in the pass rush, a linebacker to pair with Fred Warner, and considerable improvement in secondary depth.
Football Outsiders addressed the last part of this in a recent column at ESPN.
