TCU defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie explains why the 49ers are a perfect fit for Dee Winters

The San Francisco 49ers are one of the few franchises in the league where there is generally more excitement surrounding day three picks compared to their counterparts taken earlier in the draft. Which is understandable considering the 49ers hit rate in the later rounds.

The player getting the most buzz as the 49ers next potential late round gem in this year's class is linebacker Dee Winters, who was selected in the 6th round with the 216th overall pick.

To gain some better insight on Winters and what can be expected from him as he makes this transition to the NFL, I spoke with TCU’s defensive coordinator and linebackers Coach Joe Gillespie.
