With Robert Saleh back at the helm of the defense and Brant Boyer the head of special teams, expect the San Francisco 49ers to get faster, quicker, and more violent in all three phases.
Although the most significant need of the 49ers seems to be the offensive line, don't be surprised if several of the picks bolster up this defense with players from the Senior Bowl.
