The San Francisco 49ers are proactively planning for the future of their offensive line. While the team remains optimistic about finalizing a revised contract with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams for the 2026 season, they understand the importance of long-term succession planning.
In a clear signal of their draft intentions, the 49ers have hosted pre-draft visits with two of the top offensive tackle prospects in this year's class: Utah's Caleb Lomu and Alabama's Kadyn Proctor. Both players are seasoned left tackles who have anchored their respective college lines, with Lomu starting for Utah the last two seasons and Proctor holding down the role at Alabama for three.
Securing a player of their caliber, however, may require some draft-night maneuvering. Holding the 27th overall pick, the 49ers might need to trade up the board to guarantee they land a prospect who can develop into a cornerstone starter. With the draft just days away, all eyes will be on whether San Francisco makes a move to solidify their offensive front for the post-Williams era.
