The San Francisco 49ers have been a defensive line factory for the majority of the Kyle Shanahan era, drafting at least one in five of their six past drafts, while heralding top talents Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead.
That could continue with edge rusher Drake Jackson, whom the 49ers selected with the No. 61 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, as the USC product is currently projected to start alongside Bosa, Armstead, and free agent signing Javon Hargrave.

The Draft Network's Ryan Fowler revealed early Wednesday morning that Louisville edge rusher YaYa Diaby is scheduled to meet with the 49ers on a Top-30 visit.
Louisville EDGE YaYa Diaby has Top 30's scheduled with the Jaguars, Seahawks, and 49ers, source said.
