The San Francisco 49ers are trading for interior offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson from the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2027 seventh-round pick, according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. San Francisco had been in the market for offensive line help.
What this means for the 49ers offense
Patterson plays center or guard, so he has no direct fantasy value himself. But any upgrade to San Francisco's line matters for the players behind it. Running backs and receivers who depend on a functional pocket and a push in the run game benefit when the line gets reinforced.
If you roster 49ers skill players, watch how Patterson slots into the depth chart once the trade is processed. The cost to San Francisco was modest: only a seventh-round pick in 2027, suggesting the team was confident enough in the upgrade to move quickly.
