The San Francisco 49ers look like a team that is on the up and coming. They signed their quarterback for the future in Jimmy Garoppolo which he showed a lot of promise in the last six weeks of the regular season.
Odds are the 49ers will draft some playmakers for the offense to help out Jimmy G. They also need to get some help on the defensive side of the ball.
South Bound & Down
Just like most NFL teams, they gave up a lot of points in some weeks and shut down other teams in other weeks. In week three the 49ers gave up 41 points to the Los Angeles Rams. In week 16, the Jaguars scored 33 points in a shootout loss to the 49ers.
What defensive backs are on the 49ers roster?
The 49ers added Richard Sherman (Stanford) to the team this offseason. NFL fans know Sherman was a member of the Seattle Seahawks and to make the jump to San Francisco is a weird move. On the college ranks, it would be like moving from Tennessee to Florida. Or Ohio State to Michigan.
Along with Sherman, the 49ers fill the secondary with Ahkello Witherspoon (Colorado), KWaun Williams (Pittsburgh), Greg Mabin (Iowa), and Channing Stribling (Michigan).
What picks do the 49ers have?
San Francisco has nine total picks in the upcoming NFL Draft which five of them come in rounds where Rashaan Gaulden could land.
Gaulden would be a good fit in San Francisco and would be very beneficial for him to learn under such a great player in Richard Sherman.
