Notable free agent departures: OG Alex Boone
Trades: None
Draft picks expected to contribute as rookies:
DT DeForest Buckner (1st rd) - likely starting as nickel DT, could quickly move into base defense as a defensive end
OG Joshua Garnett (1st rd) - expected to start at either right guard or left guard
CB Rashard Robinson (4th rd) - impressed in offseason workout program, could end up getting time in dime defense
DT Ronald Blair (5th rd) - could be rotational guy all along the defensive line
RB Kelvin Taylor (6th rd) - lot of opportunities behind Carlos Hyde, with nobody established as a complementary back.
