The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most trustworthy teams to reach the postseason in 2026. They have built that trust with great moves for several seasons, including this offseason.
While the team is likely to contend for a run in the NFC playoffs next year, there are still holes to fill on the current roster. One of those places is at edge rusher.
ESPN analyst Nick Wagoner identified the team's biggest need left to address.
"Edge rusher. Huff's departure wasn't a huge surprise. But in tandem with Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams coming back from torn ACLs, it puts the onus on San Francisco to add more talent and depth at a position that didn't have enough of either in 2025."
