Morning Tailgate: Competitive Secondary
Out of all the upcoming competitions set to take place on the 49ers defense, secondary roles will be most coveted. Cornerback and safety spots will feature the most spirited battles.

I doubt that would go over well with the fanbase, especially since they haven't had a first-rounder in the past two years.
