In a way, the San Francisco 49ers benefited from the Jacksonville Jaguars having a deep and talented defensive line in 2017.
The Jags’ deep crop of front-four defenders meant 2016 NFL Draft fourth-round pick, defensive tackle Sheldon Day, was an excess commodity. Jacksonville waived him late in the year, and the Niners pounced.
Day quickly made his presence known in San Francisco, rotating within the defensive line and logging 12 tackles and a sack, including a strong performance against his old team in Week 16.
