DE AJ Epenesa, Iowa
Epenesa’s value has started to fall after a less-than-stellar combine. If he does fall into the second round and the 49ers lose defensive end Arik Armstead in free agency, it’d be easy to see them trying to replace Armstead with Epenesa. He has good size at 6-5, 275 pounds, and can stay on the field for all three downs – a staple of what made Armstead so effective. Epenesa posted 26.5 sacks in three years with the Hawkeyes, along with 36 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and seven fumble recoveries. He may not be as dominant as Armstead, but he should be able to step into a significant role on the defensive line right away.
