As the San Francisco 49ers head into the bye week, the team will update their needs on the trade<\/a> market. Based on The Athletic\u2019s top 50 names available at the trade deadline, which players are the most realistic for the 49ers?<\/p>\n

Ranking Best Fits for San Francisco 49ers at Trade DeadlineDeForest Buckner\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 49ers are report<\/a>edly interested<\/a> in a reunion with the star defensive tackle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A\u2019Shawn Robinson\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the 49ers cannot swing big on defensive tackle, the Bucs free agent addition would be a smart pivot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zach Sieler<\/p>\n

The 49ers would have to take on the salary of the Miami Dolphins defensive tackle, but the fit is clean.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brian Thomas Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thomas is young and has production in his career. He is a good fit if the price is right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Moro Ojomo\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Eagles underrated defensive tackle could break out if away from Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter\u2019s shine.<\/p>\n

Quenton Nelson\u00a0<\/p>\n

Left guard is starting to emerge as a roster hole for the 49ers. Nelson has emerged as a great option who is available on the 2-5 Colts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grover Stewart\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 49ers need a big run defender, and Bill Barnwell of ESPN linked them to Stewart<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jerry Jeudy\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeudy feels like an Emmanuel Sanders type of add where the change of scenery does him wonders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daron Payne<\/p>\n

Payne might cost more than the 49ers want to add him, but the fit is perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vita Vea<\/p>\n

Vea just signed an extension, but would be a great fit. San Francisco may have had interest when Vea held out in training camp.<\/p>\n

Khalil Mack\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mack is going to be high on a lot of teams’ boards. His role and the price to acquire him make it tough for San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Landon Dickerson<\/p>\n

Dickerson is a young upgrade at left guard, but is coming back from an injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chris Godwin\u00a0<\/p>\n

Godwin would be a cheap addition at receiver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ben Bredeson\u00a0<\/p>\n

The starting left guard for the Bucs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tuli Tuipulotu\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chargers likely have a massive asking price for a young productive edge rusher.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Josh Sweat\u00a0<\/p>\n

Would the Cardinals move on from a star defender and send them to a division rival?<\/p>\n

Yaya Diaby\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diaby had a three-sack performance in the Bucs win in Week 7. Both things make a trade less likely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Josh Downs<\/p>\n

A slot receiver from the struggling Colts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeffery Simmons<\/p>\n

Simmons just signed a massive extension, but the Titans are rebuilding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Calvin Ridley<\/p>\n

At his age and cost, the juice might not be worth the squeeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jauan Jennings\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jennings does not have much a role, but it is hard to see the 6-0 Vikings sell low on depth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Derwin James\u00a0<\/p>\n

James being available at a price the 49ers want seems unlikely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will McDonald<\/p>\n

McDonald would play a role that Romello Height is starting to ascend into.\u00a0<\/p>\n
