The San Francisco 49ers were supposed to be the crown jewel of the NFC West after winning the division and the NFC Championship in 2019. However, their situation could look vastly different in 2021. Their defensive line was once considered a place of strength, but os now depth-challenged with injuries to Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, and the potential departure of Dee Ford. Furthermore, Richard Sherman returning for another season as a starter is becoming less certain as he ages and injuries begin to take its toll.

The 49ers look to retool in this draft and add depth at key positions to continue to build off their recent success.
