The 49ers are pretty set at cornerback with Richard Sherman and Emmanuel Moseley outside and K’Waun Williams in the slot, but the safety group is less defined. Ideally, in Robert Saleh’s defense, there’s a prototypical deep third safety who can run with the quickest receivers all over the field. Davis has become that sort of player. He is tough enough to play in the box as well, but in Saleh’s schemes, he’d be an ideal range defender. (Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports)
