49ers Talk: A San Francisco 49ers Podcast

With some big-name NFL players pushing for trades or entering the free-agent market fray, will the 49ers swing big or build their roster around the margins of an already established contender? Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan analyze how the 49ers should go about piecing together their roster and whether the emphasis should be on free agency or the draft. Also, with Deebo Samuel's trade request over the weekend, Matt and Jennifer discuss the possible destinations he could land and what type of compensation the 49ers could expect. Lastly, with a successful blueprint in place, will the 49ers take notes from the NFC rival Eagles and Rams in bolstering their defensive line, or will their priority rest on building their offensive line first?
