Pickens is coming off a career year in 2025 and is currently playing on the franchise tag. So, he'd be an impending free agent at 25 years old. When on the field, he's been an excellent player and could be exactly what the 49ers want as a separator opposite Mike Evans.

Pickens' career year and age-25 timeline make him a potential 49ers target at reasonable cost.

Pickens is coming off a career year in 2025 and is currently playing on the franchise tag as an impending free agent at 25 years old; when on the field, he's been an excellent player and could be exactly what the 49ers want as a separator opposite Mike Evans. A trade could allow him to play off the ball for the first time in his career, moving around the formation more and giving the Niners a true star receiver tandem. The 49ers could acquire him for as little as a third-round pick and a Day 3 pick, with potential to recoup a compensatory pick for Pickens in the offseason.
