NFL free agency officially began Wednesday, but most of the work had been done in the days prior. Some of those moves have left clear needs on the table for certain teams that will likely be addressed early in the 2025 NFL Draft.
For example, the Texans traded away offensive linemen Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green. It is unlikely that both roles will be addressed with the remaining available talent in free agency, so the draft will serve as an opportunity to fill either or both. The Broncos filled needs at linebacker and safety while retaining most of the talent that saw them finish the regular season 10-7. In doing so, they kicked open the door that will likely see them add either a tight end or running back in the first round.
Comparatively, the 49ers have parted with several key pieces on its roster. They now have needs at cornerback, edge rusher and along the offensive line.
Without further ado, let’s kick this off!
