49ers' Roster Holes: Guard, Edge, Safety, RB Depth
About this episode
The San Francisco Forty Niners made strategic moves in the offseason, but still face challenges in filling four key positions: left guard, edge rusher, safety, and running back depth. The team needs to find a reliable starter at left guard, bolster their pass rush, and add experienced veterans to their young safety group. Running back depth remains a concern, despite Christian McCaffreys presence, and the team may look to sign more players to support him.

For the NFL, it's March 18th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The San Francisco 49ers kicked off the newly gear with some solid moves, like resigning their own guys, grabbing a few free agents from, other teams, and even pulling off a trade. But as they head into the 2026 season, they still got four big holes to fill on the roster. At left guard, things got thinner when Spencer Burford signed with the Las Vegas Raiders and Ben Barch remains available. Right now, their best bets are seventh round paid Conor Colby from last year and new free agent Brett Toth. But neither screams start a quality next. To Trent Williams and Jake Brendel. On the edge, Nick Bosa and first-rounder Michael Williams should return from torn ACLs, which helps. Still, they lost Bryce Huff to retirement, Robert Bill Jr. to the Miami Dolphins, and others like Yetura Gross-Mattos and Cleveland Farrell are still shopping around.
That past rush needs a boost to back up the secondary. The safety group is super young after Jason Pinock headed back to the New York Giants. Veterans could steady things for G.I. Air Brown, Maligma Stoffa, and Marques Seagley, adding some experience to the mix. Meanwhile, running back death is a concern despite Christian McCaffrey being locked in and fifth-round pick Jordan James as his backup. With Brian Robinson Jr. still on the market, they might chase more bodies in case McCaffrey sits out time. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor. Link in the description.
