49ers can spark the secondary via the NFL Draft with Darnell Savage Jr.

One thing is certain: the San Francisco 49ers need to address their secondary this year. Whether they sign someone before training camp (Tre Boston, I’m looking at you) or they draft someone, the Niners need to bolster their defensive backfield.

One high riser during the pre-draft process, who could be the missing ingredient to the 49ers secondary is Maryland safety Darnell Savage Jr. Savage, who many had originally predicted to be a third-round pick, like Matt Miller, has now been seen mocked consistently in the second round, even jumping into the first round, possibly.
