Defensive line: Javon Kinlaw, A.J. Epenesa
Yes, the 49ers are stacked along the defensive line even with Buckner’s departure, with Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Dee Ford. But if the team wanted to double down on the interior line, there are some interesting options there. South Carolina’s Javon Kinlaw is an earthmover who needs some technique work, but has the physical potential to be a top-tier pass-rusher and run-stopper. Iowa’s Epenesa has a higher floor and a lower ceiling, but he has the ability to add edge pressure and kick inside.
