With the "dead" portion of the NFL offseason amongst us and the San Francisco 49ers defense seeming deeper than ever, it's the perfect time to do an interesting exercise with the 49ers defense: an all-defense fantasy draft using only 49ers players currently on the roster.

49ers RedZone co-host Rohan Chakravarthi teamed up with Suneil of So Real Sports Talk to draft the best defensive rosters possible in a snake draft, with tough decisions at almost every position, highlighting the idea that the 49ers will likely entertain training camp battles for roster spots.



Here are the final rosters:


Defensive Line


Team Rohan: Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Javon Kinlaw, Kemoko Turay
Team Suneil: Samson Ebukam, Hassan Ridgeway, Jordan Willis, and Charles Omenihu

Linebackers


Team Rohan: Jeremiah Gemmel, Azeez Al-Shaair, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles
Team Suneil: Dre Greenlaw, Fred Warner, Oren Burks

Cornerbacks


Team Rohan: Charvarius Ward, Emmanuel Moseley, Samuel Womack
Team Suneil: Ambry Thomas, Jason Verrett, Darqueze Dennard

Safeties


Team Rohan: George Odum, Dontae Johnson
Team Suneil: Talanoa Hufanga, Jimmie Ward

Despite using just one defensive roster, two entire feasible starting lineups were created, showcasing the depth on this 49ers roster, which will lead to several training camp battles all across the board, especially between some established veterans and potential-stricken inexperienced players.
