The 49ers’ 2026 Future: Surprise Moves That Could Change Everything Revealed!
Jake Brendel, Dominick Puni, and Colton McKivitz should all return to their starting spots, so there’s really only one big need along the offensive line: a left guard.
Verdict: Set (outside of left guard)
Defensive Line
The 49ers need some help here. They were dead last in sack rate, which was a big problem after Nick Bosa went down. Getting a quality defensive tackle to work alongside Alfred Collins and C.J. West would make sense. Adding more pass rush on the edge alongside Bosa does too.
I expect the 49ers to add multiple contributions here for 2026.
Verdict: Needs an upgrade
Linebackers
This group suffered a few injuries this year. Fred Warner had the heartbreaking ankle injury back in Week 6, and Tatum Bethune, Dee Winters, and Luke Gifford were all dealing with things at the end of the year.
