Defensive tackle is a position the 49ers could use help on in theory, but may not be the best use of resources to bring anyone in. Well, at least splash, big name, expensive signing. The team has DeForest Buckner for one thing. They also have D.J. Jones who gained significant playing time as the season wore on, forcing Earl Mitchell out of a job.
There’s also Solomon Thomas. Once again—he’s not a bust. He’s seeing the field and the 49ers are looking into how to make him a better piece in the defense for 2019.
