Nick Bosa had 15½ sacks a season ago while Fred Warner led the 49ers with 137 tackles. There is plenty of returning talent on defense. Odum and Ward combined for 122 tackles and three interceptions last season.

Safety George Odum was brought in from Indianapolis and cornerback Charvarius Ward was signed away from Kansas City. On defense, the secondary will have a different look without safety Jaquiski Tartt as well as cornerbacks Josh Norman and K’Waun Williams. The NFC West was the only division where three of the four teams qualified for the playoffs last season, with. San Francisco gave up two picks in the 2021 draft to acquire Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams. San Francisco used a first-round pick on offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey in 2018 and a second-round selection on Aaron Banks in 2021.

The 49ers gave up two first-round picks and a third-round selection to move up nine spots in the 2021 NFL Draft to take the former North Dakota State star. Lance, the third overall pick in last year’s draft, only saw limited action as a rookie. Mitchell finished eighth in the NFL with 963 rushing yards as a rookie as he took full advantage of injuries to other running backs. There is a bit of a changing of the guard taking place within the San Francisco offense with second-year quarterback Trey Lance and running back Elijah Mitchell expected to take on key roles.
