Richard Sherman will be the first to tell you that safety Jaquiski Tartt deserves a Pro Bowl selection this year. The San Francisco 49ers defense, one of the best in the league, will likely be well represented in Orlando in January. If Tartt has more games like the one he had during Monday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, he may very well earn a trip too.
Tartt had a memorable strip of Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf at the goal line late in the first half.
"I was just trying to make a play," Tartt told reporters after the game. "Every play is the defense's mindset to get the ball. For us, they are not in the end-zone until they are in the end-zone. For me, I was just trying to strip the ball, and I just happened to take it away from him."
Tartt walked away from the disappointing overtime defeat with the game's top Pro Football Focus grade. Not just the best grade among 49ers players, but the best from the entire game. Seven of San Francisco's top grades belong to players on the defensive side of the ball.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo earned the third-lowest grade among 49ers players from the matchup with Seattle. His 44.1 overall grade wasn't just his lowest of the season, but it was the lowest of his career, not counting a three-snap Week 12 outing against the Seahawks in 2017 — his first appearance with the 49ers.
Below are the five highest-graded 49ers players on offense against the Seahawks.
- Deebo Samuel, WR (75.5)
- Emmanuel Sanders, WR (70.2)
- Raheem Mostert, RB (69.5)
- Levine Toilolo, TE (66.7)
- Joe Staley, LT (65.6)
Below are the five highest-graded 49ers players on defense.
- Jaquiski Tartt, SS (90.8)
- D.J. Jones, DT (90.1)
- Nick Bosa, DE (88.1)
- K'Waun Williams, CB (85.7)
- Jimmie Ward, FS (85.3)

Where the 49ers landed in PFF's latest power ranking
While it would be foolish to declare that the San Francisco 49ers lack any deficiencies, the team remains one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. That alone is enough to place them high on media power rankings.
The truth is, power rankings mean very little at this stage in the offseason. Yes, free agency has come and gone, but NFL rosters are about to undergo further changes this week, with the 2024 NFL Draft slated for Thursday.
Pro Football Focus' Amelia Probst posted a power ranking based on the analytics site's data on each roster and the offseason roster moves made so far. The San Francisco 49ers came in at No. 2, behind only the Kansas City
PFF high on this cornerback for 49ers in mock draft
Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic grades former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa as a second or third-round draft pick and ranks him 55th overall on his big board. Pro Football Focus, however, holds a higher opinion of the young defensive back. In his latest mock draft, the site's lead analyst, Sam Monson, has the San Francisco 49ers selecting Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"T.J. Tampa fits the prototype of a 49ers cornerback," Monson explains. "He has had consecutive seasons of very impressive play and allowed just 240 yards on 49 targets last season. The team doesn't necessarily need him to make an immediate impact, but they could

49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.
