Ranking 49ers undrafted free agents: QB pressure king Mikail Kamara leads the way

Key Points:

• The San Francisco 49ers have signed eight undrafted free agents, including edge rusher Mikail Kamara, who led the FBS in quarterback pressures in 2024, and punter Jack Bouwmeester, who averaged 44.5 yards per punt last season.
• Kamara, despite lacking prototypical size and speed for an edge rusher, impressed with his pass-rushing productivity at Indiana and fits the 49ers’ defensive line coach Kris Kocurek’s aggressive style; he will join former teammate CJ West on the roster.
• The 49ers are investing in competition at key positions due to injuries and roster needs, such as tight end Khalil Dinkins, valued for his blocking, and defensive tackles Bryson Eason and James Thompson Jr., who offer depth and developmental potential.
• Wide receivers Will Pauling and Wesley Grimes bring complementary skills as slot and outside receivers respectively, while safety Jalen Stroman adds depth in a role focused more on tackling and run support rather than deep coverage.
• The 49ers’ offseason roster now stands at the 90-player maximum, with several undrafted players competing for roster spots amid injuries to key players like Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, and George Kittle.
