The 49ers made some calculated moves in NFL free agency, including re-signing Trent Williams and Kyle Juszczyk, but these five needs remain.

San Francisco 49ers fans no longer have to worry about eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams leaving the team for other pastures in 2021.

Williams signed a lucrative six-year, $138 million extension on March 17, solidifying the left side of the Niners offensive line. And while fans were still waking up to the news Williams was being retained, San Francisco also made the push to acquire former Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons center Alex Mack, who’ll take over for the incumbent, Weston Richburg, who is expected to retire after missing all of 2020 with a serious knee injury suffered late in 2019.
