The San Francisco 49ers are doing their due diligence when it comes to potentially adding some edge-rusher depth. The team is evaluating two defenders — former Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks pass rusher Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah and former Miami Dolphins, Seahawks, and Oakland Raiders defensive end Dion Jordan — according to reports from NFL Network and ESPN.
As Rapoport states in his report, nothing is done, but the 49ers are getting a good look at Ansah, who is going through physical and COVID-19 testing at the team's facility. Jordan is also there today, according to Schefter.
Ansah appeared in 11 games with one start for the Seahawks last season, recording 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback hits, two passes defended, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. He recorded 28.5 sacks between 2015 and 2017 with the Lions.
Jordan recorded five tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hits, and a pass defense through seven games last year with the Oakland Raiders. He has 10.5 career sacks through five NFL seasons, not counting 2015 when he was suspended for the entire season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy.

49ers hosted 2 Texas A&M linemen on pre-draft visits
The San Francisco 49ers are widely expected to fortify the trenches in this week's draft, utilizing some of their 10 selections to add to the offensive and defensive lines. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the team recently welcomed two Texas A&M linemen for pre-draft visits: Layden Robinson, an offensive guard, and McKinnley Jackson, a defensive tackle. Both are anticipated to be drafted on Day 3.
"And then here are three names that have not been reported that have visited the 49ers, but I've been told that these guys all visited and they're third-day picks," Maiocco said on his "49ers Talk" podcast. "Two guys from Texas A&M, one a guard,
Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
