It would be foolish if the San Francisco 49ers failed to take advantage of a very deep cast of talented defensive linemen in the 2019 NFL Draft. Most likely, general manager John Lynch uses the team’s first pick, No. 2 overall, to accomplish this.
That said, a number of different scenarios open up if Lynch and the Niners trade out of that spot, perhaps addressing other needs where the position depth isn’t quite as deep.
If so, how feasible is it to see San Francisco wait until Round 2 to address outside edge-rushing needs? And, if that winds up being the case, is Boston College EDGE Zach Allen the right kind of target?
