Round 2, 36th overall
One of the glaring weaknesses in the 49ers team last year was their overall ability to stop the other team from scoring, as they finished 28th in total defense in 2018 according to Pro Football Reference, while giving up an average of 2.25 points per drive, good for just 17th in the league. Lynch and Shanahan believe that stopping the pass starts with a strong front-7, as evidenced by their signing of Kwon Alexander in free agency, their trading for Dee Ford and signing him to a long term contract and the selection of Bosa in round 1.
