After failed test, 49ers have chance to rebound in Arizona

Sep 27, 2015 at 8:10 AM--


Yes, the 49ers might lead the NFL in mystery as they visit the Cardinals on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. In a season-opening 20-3 win over the Vikings, they dominated both lines of scrimmage and their defense bordered on impenetrable.

The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows: Round 1, Pick 31 Overall Round

If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand. Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction. Ward described White as a "hand in glove
