The San Francisco 49ers kicked off their NFC title defense with a convincing 32-19 victory over the New York Jets, who are aiming to be competitive in the AFC. The win marked Aaron Rodgers’ return to action, while Brock Purdy had a stellar performance, completing 19 of 29 passes for 231 yards.
Looking ahead, the 49ers are considering a move that could enhance their offensive arsenal for Purdy in the long run. Rumors suggest they might acquire a formidable 6’5″ player to support him.
According to CBS Sports’ projections, the 49ers are expected to pick Terrance Ferguson in the first round of the 2025 draft. Standing at 6-foot-5, the Oregon pass-catcher is recognized as one of the top tight ends in the nation, although Pro Football Focus ranks him 100th overall and third among tight ends:
Round 1 – Pick 31 San Francisco 49ers:
Terrance Ferguson TE
Oregon • Sr • 6’5″ / 255 lbs
- Receptions: 7
- Yards: 87
- Yards per Reception: 12.4
- Touchdowns: 0
With an NFL-ready physique, Ferguson is poised for a strong season at Oregon as a receiver.
Could San Francisco be keen on adding another offensive asset with a first-round choice? Given that George Kittle is 30 years old and may not have many seasons left, drafting his successor could be a savvy move for the franchise.
