Injuries were, yet again, a theme of the San Francisco 49ers' 2025. But they still put together a strong campaign.
The 49ers won a playoff game despite playing in one of the best divisions in the NFL — but in 2026, the goal will be Super Bowl contention. Kyle Shanahan's unit has made some big swings this offseason by signing Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, bringing back Dre Greenlaw and acquiring Osa Odighizuwa.
However, the biggest team-building lesson of 2025 for the 49ers was how critical depth can be. At the 2026 NFL Draft, Shanahan and his staff will be looking to add some young talent, especially with some aging stars at key positions.
The Sporting News is tracking the 49ers' picks at the 2026 NFL Draft. Below, you can find every San Francisco selection, along with the team's needs and projected picks.

49ers NFL Draft needs
- EDGE: The 49ers were dead last across the NFL in sacks last season. If they're serious about Super Bowl contention, that has to change. Health played a major role there, with Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams out, but San Francisco could use another impact young player at the position to help in 2026.
- OT: Trent Williams settling his contract dispute means there isn't a dire need for a left tackle in San Francisco. But he's also 37 years old. The team needs some kind of succession plan for when he does step away; a developmental tackle would make a lot of sense.
- WR: Thanks to their offseason additions — Mike Evans and Christian Kirk — this also isn't an immediate need for the 49ers. But Evans is 32, Kirk is 29, and Ricky Pearsall hasn't yet been able to remain healthy. If there's one lesson the team may have learned last year, it's that it can't have too much depth. Grabbing a young wideout who can learn from Evans would be wise.
