2018 NFL Draft: Why the 49ers need a linebacker No. 9 overall

Here at Niner Noise, we have talked about Reuben Foster and his off-field antics ad nauseum. We know the reality of Foster’s legal issues, and we also know the nature of penalties he will face with the league, but also the pending penalties he could face with the San Francisco 49ers.

Speaking of which, the 49ers organization has closed their facilities to Foster and are set to meet with Foster this week. It looks like the organization is strongly considering the release of the talented linebacker.

Incidentally, and probably by no mistake, the 49ers hosted former Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith on Tuesday for a private visit.
