Signing Andre Dillard and Nicholas Petit-Frere won't move the needle much for the 49ers. But at least it won't hurt matters either. The San Francisco 49ers didn't do much to address their offensive line during free agency or the NFL Draft, which was a bit of a shocker after losing starting left guard Aaron Banks and swing tackle Jaylon Moore to the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively.

The Deebo Samuel trade netted the 49ers a prospect they hope can turn into a key contributor for the foreseeable future. The San Francisco 49ers engineered a blockbuster move earlier this offseason by trading away All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders after heeding to his previous trade request. In doing so, the Niners not only received a mere fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft in return but also absorbed more than $31 million in dead cap hit.

The 49ers aren't playing around with their defensive line, and grabbing C.J. West ensures the run defense won't be a liability going forward. The San Francisco 49ers focused the entirety of their efforts in Rounds 1 through 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft on defense, grabbing a couple of defensive linemen, a linebacker and a nickel cornerback with their first four picks. One had to wonder when head coach Kyle Shanahan would finally get some offensive help.

While the NFL Draft captivated the attention of the league, the 49ers have another development with George Kittle. At the start of the San Francisco 49ers' offseason workout program, (somewhat) big news emanated when All-Pro George Kittle opted not to show up for the voluntary sessions. Numerous media outlets made a big deal out of it, highlighting how Kittle was awaiting a new contract extension as he is poised to hit free agency in 2026.

Alfred Collins is a huge specimen, and he can immediately plug a glaring gap up front in the 49ers' defensive line. The San Francisco 49ers were able to take full advantage of the yearly cliché -- let the draft come to you -- when they were on the clock for the first time in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Sure, the Niners may have been interested in trading up from No. 43 following their day-one selection of defensive end Mykel Williams, potentially to select a defensive back or offensive lineman.
