The 49ers traded up back into the first round to snag the stand out Alabama linebacker. Foster looked to be a foundational piece of the defense with 72 tackles, 7 tackles for loss and a pass breakup in 10 games as a rookie. Issues including domestic violence that began in his first offseason carried over into his second year when he was arrested at the team hotel in Tampa Bay before their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. He was cut after playing only 16 games with the club.
