49ers CHAT with Insider Matt Maiocco -- NOW (4.14.15)

@Banky Assuming J. Smith retires, how comfortable do you think the Niners will be with Tank C. and  D. Dockett as starting DEs?  If they're not comfortable, do you think Baalke could move up for Leonard Williams?

MM: Jim Tomsula, the former defensive line coach, said recently he believes there is more depth on the line right now than at any point in his eight seasons with the club. Glenn Dorsey, Ian Williams, Tank Carradine, Darnell Dockett, Quinton Dial and Tony Jerod-Eddie are six players with experience who can step in and play multiple positions.
