Reporter makes thoughts extremely clear on overlooked offseason addition

A 49ers reporter argues that a key defensive tackle addition could matter more than the offseason headline. Matt Maiocco, speaking Thursday with Ari Meirov, said Osa Odighizuwa may be the best pick San Francisco has made in spring and could be a better all-around player than wide receiver Mike Evans is at his position. The 49ers acquired Odighizuwa from Dallas in exchange for a third-round draft pick. Maiocco projects him starting on the interior in 2026 alongside Alfred Collins and C.J. West, applying pressure from the middle. He cited 112 total pressures since the 2024 season and said improved interior push could help edge rushers and make life easier for the secondary.
