While the 49ers still have some question marks on the defensive line, the defensive line unit was a popular group on Tuesday’s trade deadline with players like Smith and Preston Smith being on the move. With Lynch and company not making a move, the 49ers will need to lean on one their free agent signings from the summer – Leonard Floyd.

The San Francisco 49ers were able to sneak in a move just before the NFL trade deadline Tuesday afternoon. The Niners picked up defensive tackle Khalil Davis from the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick, according to multiple reports.
