Quick Takeaways
This may come as a surprise to fans, but quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo earned his best Pro Football Focus overall grade since Week 10. That's despite throwing two costly interceptions into the arms of Seahawks defenders. Garoppolo finished the game 20-of-30 passing for 299 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks. His 93.6 passer rating was his second-lowest since Week 7.
George Kittle earned the game's highest overall grade, the tight end's highest grade of the season, and his highest grade since Week 17 of the 2019 season (93.8). He finished the game with nine receptions for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Kittle's receiving yards were the second-highest of any NFL player in Week 13. Only Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson's 182 receiving yards topped the 49ers All-Pro's total.
Trent Williams remains on pace to earn Pro Football Focus' highest-ever single-season grade for an individual player. The left tackle owns an overall grade of 98.4 for the season. He has graded 80-or-higher in each of his last six outings.
While Emmanuel Moseley's 88.4 overall grade is a career-high, it came on just nine snaps. The cornerback left the field in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
Defensive tackle D.J. Jones earned his highest grade since Week 5 of the 2020 season (87.6). He finished the game with seven tackles and a forced fumble. The forced fumble was his second of the season and third of his career. The fumble recovery led to Kittle's 24-yard touchdown reception.
Azeez Al-Shaair earned his second-best Pro Football Focus grade of the season (83.4 in Week 7). The linebacker recorded a career-high 16 tackles and a forced fumble. He also combined with defensive end Arden Key for a sack of Seahawks quarterback
Russell Wilson.
Cornerback K'Waun Williams' 74.7 overall grade is a season-high.

Where the 49ers landed in PFF's latest power ranking
While it would be foolish to declare that the San Francisco 49ers lack any deficiencies, the team remains one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. That alone is enough to place them high on media power rankings.
The truth is, power rankings mean very little at this stage in the offseason. Yes, free agency has come and gone, but NFL rosters are about to undergo further changes this week, with the 2024 NFL Draft slated for Thursday.
Pro Football Focus' Amelia Probst posted a power ranking based on the analytics site's data on each roster and the offseason roster moves made so far. The San Francisco 49ers came in at No. 2, behind only the Kansas City
PFF high on this cornerback for 49ers in mock draft
Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic grades former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa as a second or third-round draft pick and ranks him 55th overall on his big board. Pro Football Focus, however, holds a higher opinion of the young defensive back. In his latest mock draft, the site's lead analyst, Sam Monson, has the San Francisco 49ers selecting Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"T.J. Tampa fits the prototype of a 49ers cornerback," Monson explains. "He has had consecutive seasons of very impressive play and allowed just 240 yards on 49 targets last season. The team doesn't necessarily need him to make an immediate impact, but they could
7-round mock draft has 49ers adding 2 legacy players
Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus unveiled a seven-round mock draft for the San Francisco 49ers, addressing several key needs for the team in the 10-pick projection. Interestingly, the mock draft sees the team adding two legacy players. But before delving into that, let's examine the first three selections.
Sikkema has the 49ers shoring up their offensive line at pick No. 31 with the selection of former Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan.
Morgan allowed 14 pressures and two sacks in his 477 pass-blocking snaps at left tackle in 2023. He earned an impressive pass-blocking grade of 87.3 and an overall grade of
49ers legacy players add a 'fun element' to 2024 NFL Draft
The upcoming NFL Draft holds special significance for the San Francisco 49ers, with ties to several familiar faces from the team's past. A handful of legacy players hope to make their mark, possibly receiving a life-changing call from 49ers general manager John Lynch.
Brenden Rice, son of Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice, is one such player. The former USC wideout is projected to be a fourth-round draft pick and had the opportunity to meet with the 49ers at the NFL Scouting Combine.
When asked about the possibility of joining his father's former team, Brenden confidently expressed, "Honestly, I just
