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.
Who ended with the better roster?
