Where each key 49ers offseason acquisition fits on the roster

The San Francisco 49ers were active early in free agency this season with a handful of free agency signings and a trade that bolstered their defensive front. Where does that group fit into a roster that is undergoing some significant changes for the second season in a row? Here's a quick look at how each player could fit into the depth chart: WR Mike Evans Evans will at the very least open the season as the 49ers' No.

1 wide receiver. Ricky Pearsall figures to slot in alongside him, but the future Hall of Famer has enough left in the tank to be a more productive version of 2024 and 2025 leading WR Jauan Jennings. LB Dre Greenlaw The Greenlaw addition is tough news for Dee Winters.

Winters broke out last season as the starting Will LB, but Greenlaw's arrival could mean Winters moves to a Sam LB or reserve role. If Greenlaw has lost a step since he was last with the 49ers in 2024, then the team may try to move him to Sam. Either way it looks like Greenlaw will be one of the team's top three LBs entering the season.

DT Osa Odighizuwa San Francisco acquired Odighizuwa in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. He'll start at defensive tackle, likely alongside second-year DT Alfred Collins. Odighizuwa won't likely be on the field for every snap, but his role should be significant.
