The 49ers lost a large contingent of household names that helped them dominate the NFC for the last five-plus years, headlined by the likes of Deebo Samuel, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, Charvarius Ward and Kyle Juszczyk,

Even their additions haven't been major, and it leaves their biggest NFL draft needs in a relatively similar order to what they were prior to free agency.

Joining the 49ers in 1993 from the Arizona Cardinals, Tim McDonald played safety for seven seasons (1993-1999). He was selected to three Pro Bowls during his career in San Francisco and recorded 20 interceptions, 545 tackles, and 7.0 sacks. He was a defensive leader on the team's Super Bowl XXIX-winning roster.
