The San Francisco 49ers fell to 2-1 after suffering their first loss of the season, a 30-28 defeat at home against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.

Today, Pro Football Focus released its grades from the game. Which Niners played well, and who has more work to do?

Below are Pro Football Focus' five highest-graded 49ers players on offense against the Packers.


Below are the five highest-graded 49ers players on defense.

  • Josh Norman, CB, 89.7, 30 snaps
  • Arik Armstead, DE, 79.7, 48 snaps
  • Nick Bosa, DE, 75.0, 54 snaps
  • Zach Kerr, DT, 74.7, 6 snaps
  • (Tie) Azeez Al-Shaair, LB, 71.8, 60 snaps
  • (Tie) Samson Ebukam, DE, 71.8, 19 snaps

Below are the three lowest-graded 49ers players on offense.

  • Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, 54.6, 67 snaps
  • Ross Dwelley, TE, 54.6, 10 snaps
  • Trey Sermon, RB, 55.0, 41 snaps

Below are the three lowest-graded 49ers players on defense.

  • K'Waun Williams, CB, 40.3, 6 snaps
  • Deommodore Lenoir, CB, 43.7, 45 snaps
  • Arden Key, DE, 46.1, 11 snaps

Quick Takeaways


Jimmy Garoppolo was among the two lowest-graded offensive players. The 49ers quarterback had some big plays but also produced some costly mistakes. He was sacked four times, threw an interception, and had that costly fourth-quarter fumble. It was about as up-and-down of a performance as Garoppolo has had.

Tight end George Kittle was among the three highest-graded offensive players for the second time this season, ranking as the highest-graded player on offense against the Packers.

Trent Williams hasn't earned an overall grade of lower than 81.8 this season, showing that he remains one of the best tackles in the game. The veteran offensive lineman's 93.2 overall grade for this season is the highest of his career.

Tackle Mike McGlinchey has seen a steady improvement since his shaky start in Week 1. That includes pass-blocking grades of 73.7 and 71.5 in the last two games.

Norman was the team's highest-graded player. However, he left the game early due to an injury. It was a costly loss for the defense, which struggled to stop Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the end.

Defensive lineman Arik Armstead is quietly having a fantastic season. His 84.6 overall grade is closer to his 2019 production, and his pass-rushing grade of 86.8 this season is a career-high.

This has included a significant overhaul of the team's defensive front, with notable departures such as Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and Clelin Ferrell. However, the 49ers managed to reinforce their defensive line with key signings, including Leonard Floyd, Yetur Gross-Matos, and Jordan Elliott. Additionally, they traded for Maliek Collins to help along the interior. Pro Football Focus recently analyzed the pros and cons of each team's free-agent acquisitions, indicating that San Francisco isn't expected to take a step back when it comes to rushing the passer.

Pro Football Focus' Trevor Sikkema unveiled his latest mock draft this week and has the San Francisco 49ers addressing the offensive line. Specifically, Sikkema suggests the team seeks a potential replacement for Colton McKivitz at right tackle. In Sikkema's projection, the Niners select former Georgia offensive lineman Amarius Mims with the No. 31 overall pick. The analyst views him as an ideal addition to an offensive front that was untouched in free agency—apart from ensuring continuity among last season's starters. "Mims has one of the craziest builds you will have ever seen — in a good way

Latest PFF mock draft has 49ers making surprise pick in Round 1

The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The team did not address the offensive line, and it's a safe bet they will do so with some rookie selections next month. The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver
