The San Francisco 49ers received plenty of praise for their handling of the 2019 offseason, but one consistent criticism has been the way that the went about addressing the safety position.
Or rather, how they didn’t address the safety position.
The 49ers had arguably some of the worst play out of their safeties from any team in 2018. While much of that could be attributed to the vast amount of injuries suffered, it’s not as if the team had All-Pro caliber players at the position, to begin with.
Even more so, the injuries were hardly a new theme of the 49ers safeties as the team has dealt with injuries at the position for a number of years now.
