Yesterday, I debuted an exercise with the 49ers defense: an all-defense fantasy draft using only 49ers players currently on the roster.
With nearly 20 defensive linemen on the roster and several star players on the team, the 49ers continue to compile a strong defensive roster, matching their top-end talent with significant depth as they look to contend in 2022.
49ers RedZone co-host Rohan Chakravarthi teamed up with John Chapman of the 49ers Rush Podcast to draft the best defensive rosters possible in a snake draft, balancing out positional value based on the 49ers' strengths and weaknesses.
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.
