New York Jets safety Jamal Adams is headed to the NFC West, but not to the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, he will join the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Seattle gave up three draft picks for Adams, including its two first-round selections over the next two years. The Seahawks also added safety Bradley McDougald in the deal while receiving Adams and a fourth-round pick in 2022.
Adams, 24, requested a trade in June and
named both the Seahawks and 49ers among his desired destinations. There was
an unconfirmed rumor that San Francisco had reached out to the Jets to inquire about the disgruntled safety.
Adams is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2019. He is seeking to become the highest-paid safety in the NFL. The Seahawks will need to address that in the near future.
The Jets made Adams the No. 6 overall selection in 2017 after playing college football at LSU. He went three choices after general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made defensive lineman Solomon Thomas their first-ever draft pick after joining the 49ers.
Adams registered 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, and two forced fumbles through 14 games with the Jets in 2019. He has recorded 273 tackles, 12 sacks, 25 passes defensed, two interceptions, a touchdown, and six forced fumbles through his three NFL seasons.

7-round mock draft: 49ers trade up to fortify secondary
The San Francisco 49ers first selection in next week's draft comes at No. 31 overall. However, NFL Media analyst Chad Reuter doesn't have the Bay Area team remaining at that spot in the first round. In his seven-round mock draft, he envisions the 49ers striking a deal with the Green Bay Packers to move up six spots to No. 25 overall, where they select former Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Reuter notes, "Whether it's for a cornerback like McKinstry, an offensive lineman or a receiver, the 49ers could very well give up a mid-round pick to acquire one of the few missing pieces on an otherwise potent roster."

Two reported 49ers pre-draft visits didn't end up happening
Despite initial reports, two draft prospects who were set to visit the San Francisco 49ers ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft ultimately did not meet with the team. Matt Barrows of The Athletic revealed that former USC wide receiver Brenden Rice and former Oregon safety Jamal Hill didn't end up visiting the Bay Area organization.
Barrows wrote, "Meanwhile, a report in March indicated that USC receiver Brenden Rice, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, would visit the 49ers, but he didn't end up coming, according to two league sources."

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
