Top 100 NFL Free Agents for 2022 - Niners targets

If the Niners need don't change much in the next two weeks and the playoffs, I think they need to address the following positions in free agency and the draft:

Primary needs:
CB
Edge
Secondary needs:
S
WR
IOL

Here are the top 10 free agents per Pro Football Network by position for next year:
DB's
1. Stephon Gilmore, CB, Carolina Panthers
2. Tyrann Mathieu, S, Kansas City Chiefs
3. Darious Williams, CB, Los Angeles Rams
4. Jessie Bates III, S, Cincinnati Bengals
5. J.C. Jackson, CB, New England Patriots
6. Donte Jackson, CB, Carolina Panthers
7. Marcus Maye, S, New York Jets
8. Marcus Williams, S, New Orleans Saints
9. Casey Hayward, CB, Las Vegas Raiders
10. Daniel Sorensen, S, Kansas City Chiefs

Edge
1. Haason Reddick, Carolina Panthers
2. Derek Barnett, Philadelphia Eagles
3. Randy Gregory, Dallas Cowboys
4. Jadeveon Clowney, Cleveland Browns
5. Von Miller, Los Angeles Rams
6. Emmanuel Ogbah, Miami Dolphins
7. Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinals
8. Charles Harris, Detroit Lions
9. Dante Fowler Jr., Atlanta Falcons

Offensive Line
1. Orlando Brown Jr., T, Kansas City Chiefs
2. Brandon Scherff, G, Washington Football Team
3. Terron Armstead, T, New Orleans Saints
4. Duane Brown, T, Seattle Seahawks
5. Charles Leno Jr., T, Washington Football Team
6. Riley Reiff, T, Cincinnati Bengals
7. Laken Tomlinson, G, San Francisco 49ers
8. Ben Jones, C, Tennessee Titans
9. Jason Peters, T, Chicago Bears

Based on these lists, there are only a few legit free agent prospects for the Niners, besides re-signing their own (Tartt and Tomlinson). At DB, Marcus Maye or Marcus Wiliams,at safety look like good targets to replace Tartt. At CB JC or Donte Jackson would be good prospects to play opposite Moseley. At G, it looks like the only upgrade would be Brandon Scherff at IOL. At Edge, either Haason Reddick or Emmanuel Ogbah would be the best options to replace Dee Ford. What say you?

Unless this list changes dramatically, this is the worst year to only have 6 draft picks going into the offseason.

sign Ben Jones And if Chandler Jones hits FA get him. If JC Jackson hits free agency which I don't think he will but if he does that dude will be priced out of our reach in 30 seconds. I don't think Gilmore is going to leave Carolina. Terron Armstead would be f**king amazing but I don't think this team is done with McGlinchey unfortunately.

Weird that Carlton Davis isn't on the DB list and Harold Landry isn't 1 on edge list

Harris would be an interesting choice at edge. He's a pure speed guy from what I recall

And Mike Hughes from the Chiefs. I like to believe there's no way they can bring him back but then again it's the Chiefs. Hughes would be my number 1 DB target

Yes, Hughes as well. He's playing very well. Bummer niners didn't try to trade for him when they had the chance

Yeah a CB who hasn't commited 1 penalty all year sounds pretty damn good.

If they play it right, they could have some good options in FA to shore up the secondary and get a edge opposite of Bosa.

We got to shell out a ton of money for Bosa and will probably resign Key given his gel with this defense. Throw in Armstead's contract and Ford's dead money, I think its too much money tied on D-line. We will probably look to draft for pass rushers. Im not expecting any big signings there.

I think we got to look at the CB position and possibly Center, following a Mack release. My wish list would be Ben Jones and Casey Hayward. Then draft edge rusher and OT (to compete with McGlinchey) early on in the draft.

Give me a corner that doesn't panic and fouls when the ball gets thrown his way.

You build via the draft free agency is for chumps aka the Rams or NY Giants.

Gimme gimme

Big time corner in FA looks like the correct move
