Defensive tackle
It was inconceivable that the interior of the defensive line would be a priority in the draft, but the DeForest Buckner trade has greatly skewed the 49ers’ needs. The former first-round pick left a mammoth hole on the 49ers’ defensive line that’ll be impossible to fill with just one player. While Solomon Thomas, Arik Armstead, DJ Jones and others can play snaps inside, they’ll need a more steady, long-term presence there. San Francisco can afford to find a rotational player at that spot in the middle rounds of the draft, but if someone falls to them they believe can be a starter playing a heavy share of the snaps, it’s hard to believe they won’t jump at the opportunity.
