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:
#49ers fans, who ended with the better defensive roster: me or @SoRealSuneil?
