49ers depth chart: Defensive tackle gets shakeup after DeForest Buckner trade

The 49ers depth chart on the defensive interior got a pretty big shakeup when DeForest Buckner was traded.

Taylor joined the club in 2018 as a seventh-round pick. He was a project, but his 6-5, 280-pound frame and good athleticism helped him stick around and work his way into a rotational role last season. A knee injury wound up knocking him out in Week 13. Taylor is inconsistent, but the flashes that allowed him to notch four tackles for loss in just 102 total snaps are the reason he’ll continue getting serious consideration for a job on the interior. If he’s the team’s fourth defensive tackle, they’re in a pretty good spot depth-wise.
