The 49ers were a top 8 team to finish last season and have added:
Nick Bosa
Fred Warner
Mykel Williams
Mike Evans
Osa Odighizuwa
+ More players coming in thru the draft

49ers' offseason strategy from 2024 should make sense to everyone now...
YEAR 1
-Cut poor run defenders because run D was bad (Hargrave, Collins, Floyd)
-Draft strong run defenders (Collins, CJ West)
YEAR 2
-With run D solidified, add DT pass rush — meet Osa Odighizuwa
The Osa contract is the holy grail for NFL GMs.
2026 is a moderate and fair price for a player of his skillset.
Then in 2027 AND 2028 there is no guaranteed money so the team can cut him with no dead money if he sucks.
If they like him, they can convert his base non-guaranteed salary into a signing bonus to create cap space for the current year.
The 49ers choose each year if they want him or not with basically ZERO cost to them. Excellent contract, great player, and the 3rd round pick is fair compensation.
49ers Run Down DL:
Nick Bosa
Alfred Collins
CJ West
Mykel Williams
49ers Pass Down DL:
Nick Bosa
Osa Odigihizuwa
Mykel Williams
Bryce Huff
These are two awesome units, and barring injury, will be a strength of this team.
It's a 3rd-round pick the 49ers are sending Dallas for Osa Odighizuwa, who'll cost the 49ers $16.75 million in 2026 salary-cap space and is under contract through 2028.
Cheaper on the cap and younger than John Franklin-Myers, who went for $21m APY to Tennessee
Isiah Pacheco among 49 RBs with 100+ att:
#46 in explosive run rate (3.4%)
#47 in longest rush (16 yds on 118 att)
#47 in success rate (29.7%)
#38 in YPC (3.9)
this is despite him facing the NFL's HIGHEST rate of light boxes & LOWEST rate of 7+ and 8+ box defenders last year

Deommodore Lenoir vs. Trent McDuffie. I ran some coverage numbers over the past 2 seasons.
The difference is very small and Lenoir has more INT and fewer TD allowed.
Lenoir: $18m APY
McDuffie: $31m APY
The 49ers signed Lenoir right before a huge CB contract boom. Big value
