The San Francisco 49ers are a lock to select an offensive lineman with their first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The 49ers have not held a first round pick since selecting Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft.  Many analysts around the league are split on what direction the team will go, but you can count on the San Francisco 49ers to select an offensive lineman with the selection. The offensive line is a position of need for the 49ers, and this is the deepest class of offensive lineman entering the draft in the last five years. We’ll…

The San Francisco 49ers are all too aware of the importance of the backup quarterback position, dating back to Brock Purdy’s injury in the 2022 NFC Championship game. The 49ers were so bludgeoned during that debacle that it prompted the NFL to create a new rule allowing for an emergency third quarterback to suit up on game days. The 49ers have had third-overall pick Trey Lance, third-overall selection Sam Darnold, and Jimmy Garoppolo as backup options over the course of the past four seasons. This upcoming season presents a different dilemma for Head Coach Kyle Shanahan having chosen to go…

The Bay Area has quietly been home to one of the top running backs in the nation over the past two years, and he goes by the name Jaydn Ott. Ott is etching his name among the greats that have ever put on a Cal uniform, and that is saying something with the prodigious history that they have there. He quietly had the seventh best season by a Cal running back ever, but not many people took notice. Ott’s record-breaking true sophomore campaign saw him break feats previously held by Marshawn Lynch, Shane Vereen, and Justin Forsett. Running Back Has…

San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch exercised a trade in 2020 sending DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a first-round draft pick. This set off a domino effect, which in hindsight turned out to be the wrong decision. Lynch knows the importance of having a stout defensive line, and the transaction was supposed to bolster the front for years to come. The problem is hindsight is 20/20, and the 49ers should have kept Buckner instead of going through all of the problems they have suffered through since.

The San Francisco 49ers fell just short of Super Bowl victory this past season, culminating in the firing of defensive coordinator Steve Wilks shortly thereafter. Head Coach Kyle Shanahan was tasked with finding a formidable replacement who was ready to lead a defensive group ready to win now. Kyle Shanahan has experience with such a task, having previously hired three separate defensive coordinators during his tenure. Coach Shanahan settled on an internal candidate in former defensive backs coach Nick Sorensen. New defensive coordinator Nick Sorenson was the perfect hire, and he will propel the San Francisco 49ers defense to Super…

The San Francisco 49ers do not seem done extending some of their own players according to an insider. Matt Maiocco of NBC Bay Area Sports wrote on X, “It’s my understanding Colton McKivitz is not the only player the 49ers have been working to extend before the start of free agency. I’m not hearing of anything huge at this point — thinking along the lines of a couple of veteran role players.” The 49ers have already signed right tackle Colton McKivitz to a one-year extension, and we will explore other candidates on the roster for extensions.

The San Francisco 49ers have hired former Las Vegas Offensive Coordinator Mick Lombardi to a yet to be named position on the offensive staff according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Lombardi made his break into the NFL serving under Jim Harbaugh during his stint as Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Lombardi most recently worked under Josh McDaniels before his firing in Las Vegas. San Francisco 49ers History With Mick Lombardi Mick Lombardi made his professional coaching debut serving under Jim Harbaugh in 2013 serving as an offensive assistant. He stayed on after Harbaugh’s firing during…

The San Francisco 49ers and right tackle Colton McKivitz have reached a one-year extension running through the 2025 season. The extension is worth a reported $7 million dollars according to his agents at AMDG Sports. The San Francisco 49ers were thought to be a lock to take a tackle in the first round of the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, but does this extension change their thinking? McKivitz As The Starter The 49ers employed  the 27 year old Colton McKivitz as their starting right tackle entering the 2023-2024 campaign. He proved to be a serviceable at the position as the 49ers…

The San Francisco 49ers already have a starting safety unit that they are comfortable with heading into 2024, but would they look to upgrade the unit with an All-Pro if possible? Justin Simmons and Jamal Adams both unexpectedly were released by their teams in the last few weeks, and together they have a combined seven All-Pro nods to their list of accolades. The San Francisco 49ers would not be doing their due diligence if they did not at least kick the tires on adding an All-Pro to their roster. Justin Simmons Can Elevate San Francisco 49ers Secondary Free Safety Justin…

The Bosa family would be happy to hear that the Bosa brothers, Joey and Nick, may soon be reuniting in a San Francisco 49ers uniform according to a Chargers insider. The last time the brothers shared the same field was in Florida in 2012, playing varsity football for St. Thomas Aquinas. Both were drafted in the top-3, both wear the number 97, and both have gotten massive contract extensions over the course of their careers. The difference between the two careers has been in the success of the teams they play for. Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers have…
