Finding a second starting CB
Richard Sherman can be penciled in as the starting cornerback on the left side of the 49ers’ defense. The right side is less certain. Emmanuel Moseley and Ahkello Witherspoon will compete for the job in camp, but neither played consistently enough last season to garner a full-time starting job. Witherspoon played well prior to a Week 3 foot injury, but he was benched twice in favor of Moseley. Ironing that out and having a consistent starting corner across from Sherman is an important step for the 49ers’ defense.
