To say the San Francisco 49ers have experienced change this offseason would be a massive understatement.
Multiple starters left the team either via trade or free agency, creating multiple glaring holes for the team to consider targeting when the NFL Draft arrives.

Names like Charvarius Ward, Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, Javon Hargrave, and others are no longer with the team, leaving 2025's […]
