Just sign Trey Hendrickson and keep your 1st round picks.
Had a couple more of his finest moments... signed Zachary Thomas and Hayden Rucci (OT, TE)

Go get Justin Jefferson. Minny needs a QB and Lynch can't draft his way out of a wet paper bag. Go get an experienced WR. Almost a win/win if u can agree on fair compensation for JJ..

Ahh the offseason where theories of trading for Max Crosby and Justin Jefferson begin and end. We aren't getting either and we will get DJ Chark and Samson Ebukam and fool ourselves into being excited about both.

I imagine the Niners are a little gun shy about signing a WR to a big contract. I don't like tying up $30 mil or more in a WR.

If they can do something like Likely via FA, Addison via trade and a splurge safety signing then use the draft on the trenches I'd be pleased

Would love to steal Kam Curl from the Rams. Maybe there's a veteran out there the 9ers trade for. But the Safety position needs to be tweaked.

I'm all about getting Jaquan Brisker from the Bears and either seeing if Sigle can continue to develop at FS while also drafting another single high safety. Keep Mustapha as a backup/STer and flush the rest outta here.

Sigle has looked bad at coverage, so I am skeptical overall. For every good play Brown and Mustapha have they have 5 bonehead plays. All the Safeties we have are mediocre at coverage. I wouldn't mind an overhaul either. Maybe FA?

They need veteran back there with either Mustapha or Sigle. They're not gonna replace both. Would also love it if they drafted one in the 2nd round with a veteran.

This is the way I'm thinking for FA. The other main FA target, IMO, should be Odafe Oweh, DE, Chargers, 25 sacks in 70 games.
Good read on the process used by the Rams to re-build their team after years of trading away their early draft picks, which is the model the 49ers are replicating. The Niners' "weight-bearing walls" are Brock, Kittle, CMC, Trent, Fred and Bosa. The difference between the Rams and the Niners at this point in the process is that the Rams had already hit homeruns in their 2023 draft. They had drafted multiple impact players in Puka, Turner and Young. The 49ers have drafted 0 impact players

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6986145/2026/01/24/rams-nfc-championship-game-sean-mcvay-les-snead/?source=emp_shared_article

As 2023 began, Snead staked out Stafford, Kupp and Donald as the team's "weight-bearing walls," in his words, and the Rams began to offload the rest of the roster with especial focus on the defense. They took on a record $80 million in dead money, a decision so dramatic that Demoff had to release a letter to season ticket holders that explained the team's process and expressed his genuine optimism that the team could compete — a "we aren't tanking" manifesto, some in the organization now joke.

In April, still without a first-round pick, they drafted 14 rookies — including fifth-rounder Puka Nacua. The scouts went after players with three specific qualities: play speed (using GPS data from events such as the Senior Bowl or from players' universities instead of a 40-yard dash time), how they projected their bodies would develop and football IQ/character.
...
Armed with a first-round pick for the first time since 2016, the Rams drafted edge rusher Jared Verse at No. 19, then traded up in the second round to pair him with Florida State teammate Braden Fiske. Along with Kobie Turner and Byron Young, both 2023 third-round picks, the Rams' defensive line quickly became one of the best pass-rushing units in the NFL (and it certainly was the cheapest).
...
Now, with few exceptions, they are a homegrown team. Three of their five offensive linemen and both running backs were drafted by the franchise (or were added as undrafted free agents). So were three of their four tight ends. All but one receiver; all but one defensive lineman. Two of three starting corners; two of three safeties. Every pass rusher. Their newly extended starting middle linebacker, Nate Landman, was initially a cheap free-agent signing, now an outlier on a defense full of drafted players. The team made 30 picks in three years. (And still, only one was in the first round. Snead is still Snead, after all.)

For the right price I'm sure. Edge rushers tend to get stupidly overpaid in free agency meanwhile safeties can be had for 70% off discount. I think the value is always in safeties in free agency. Some of the top safeties Xavier McKinney, Jessie Bates, Talanoa Hufanga and Javon Holland were all free agents at one point.
