Defensive Line

Dee Ford
Sheldon Day
DeForest Buckner
Arik Armstead
Nick Bosa
Solomon Thomas
DJ Jones
Ronald Blair
Kentavius Street
Kevin Givens

San Francisco already had a pretty good line, but the additions of this offseason make this defensive line outright scary. They already had very good players in Buckner in Armstead while Day is a solid veteran player as well. They were able to add excellent speed on the edge by trading for Dee Ford. Nick Bosa has looked every bit the part of the second overall pick when he has been healthy. Solomon Thomas has been impressive through the preseason and will look to finally break out in his third season. Blair and Street will provide depth on the edge while Jones and Givens will provide extra depth on the interior.

Player to watch: Julian Taylor
