The 49ers drafted Ambry Thomas in the 3rd round to be a future starter at cornerback, but Niner Noise details how the future might come just this year.
For how talented the 49ers defense has been the last couple of years, there has been a constant revolving door at the second cornerback position. Even back in 2017, the first spot seemed locked down by Ahkello Witherspoon, while the second spot was constantly changing.
In 2018 and 2019, that first spot was held down by Richard Sherman while several players, including Witherspoon, Emmanuel Moseley, and the spurts of Jason Verrett attempted to fill in.
