We kept on the roster:
Dobbs, Demarcus
Jean Francois, Ricky
Tukuafu, Will
Williams, Ian
Teams don't keep players unless they value something in those players. I think SF really values these guys, are developing them, and will include them into the longer plan.
I would be shocked if the Niners didnt address the DL at some point in this draft. Those are servicable backups but I think you need more than that.
Yes but saying we are going to get one because J. Smith is old isn't saying much unless we acquire a legitimate starter who will be a difference maker Week #1. Basically, if we don't acquire a top 3 caliber DL, then we are not acquiring anything better than a backup to develop, which we already have plenty of.

Anything can happen in a draft, but yes - I'll be completely shocked if Niners don't draft a DL in the draft. I actually feel they will draft one early in the draft. Like I said in the first post, if we want to stay a truly elite defense, we have to continue adding top talent to the front 7.
Devon Still makes a LOT of sense for us at 30. He will be a perfect end in 3-4 and will give us another player who can collapse the pocket and is great at stuffing the run.
