DJ Jones
Jones wound up as a hidden gem from the 2017 draft class where San Francisco selected him in the sixth round. He played in just 19 games with four starts in his first two seasons. Last year he earned a starting role where he started all 11 games he played before a high ankle sprain sidelined him for the season. Jones had 2.0 sacks and played well as a run stopper in the middle of the defensive line. He’s the player most likely to see an uptick in playing time and production while the team adjusts to life post-Buckner.
