49ers enter the NFL draft with few glaring holes after a productive free agency

The feeling going into the NFL draft is far different for the San Francisco 49ers than it was a year ago

Season ends with hamstring injury Brown (hamstring) had 76 tackles (44 solo), two interceptions and one forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts with the 49ers in 2025.
Impact Brown turned in another solid regular-season campaign splitting time between both starting safety positions while Malik Mustapha started the campaign on the PUP list. The 25-year-old Brown suffered a hamstring injury during the 49ers' postseason run that cost him the team's final game, a road loss to the Seahawks in the divisional round. Assuming that the versatile safety is able to recover in time for training camp, Brown will enter the final year of his rookie deal with the inside track to a starting safety gig.

Impact Brown was unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the 49ers' wild-card win over the Eagles on Sunday. With Brown sidelined, Marques Sigle figures to be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Malik Mustapha while Jason Pinnock and Siran Neal provide depth at the position.

Impact Brown was estimated as a non-participant when the 49ers started their preparations for the Divisional Round with a walkthrough practice Tuesday, and he couldn't take any reps when the club ran a full practice Wednesday. Unless he can get back on the practice field Thursday, he'll be on track to spend Saturday's game at Seattle on the sidelines.

Dealing with hamstring injury Brown (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Moves to strong safety in 2025 Brown had 76 tackles (44 solo), two interceptions and one forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts with the 49ers in 2025.
Impact Brown's versatility was on full display in 2025 when he was asked to move over to strong safety in Week 6 after teammate Malik Mustafa returned from injury. The 25-year-old Brown wasn't affected by the shift when he finished the regular season with one less combined tackle and one more interception than he did in 2024. Brown will enter the final year of his rookie contract starting at one of San Francisco's safety positions while providing a solid floor for IDP fantasy managers.
