The 49ers’ defensive depth chart showcases a restocked cornerback corps and a hearty front line.
The NFL draft is annually a way to gauge just what a team thinks of its roster, and, in the case of the 49ers defense, two areas of need were addressed.Next, the 49ers were compelled/ordered to add further to a cornerback corps that already imported Charvarius Ward in a high-priced free agency move.
Third in the league at cornerback? No. The defense finished third in overall yards allowed, despite being so rattled by injuries and penalties at cornerback. After Verrett signed a one-year deal Monday for the fourth straight year, Lynch said about him on KNBR 680-AM: “He’s a No. 1 corner for us. He’s a guy you don’t give up on. … I wasn’t sure he’d want to play again. We kept in touch. That desire to come back was there and it was burning hard. At that point, Kyle and I said it’s definitely worth it. Our team loves him.”
