San Francisco 49ers: Projecting the 2017 Inside Linebacker Depth Chart
After last week’s 2017 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have three inside linebackers — NaVorro Bowman, Malcolm Smith and Reuben Foster — but only two starting positions. Will one of the Niners’ middle linebackers be forced to switch positions in order to stay on the field?
It’s been a few years since the San Francisco 49ers had a “good” roster problem; too many starters, and not enough positions on the field.
The 49ers defense is led by four-time All-Pro NaVorro Bowman, who is progressing well from a 2016 Achilles injury.
This year, however, Bowman has some competition at his position.
