Adding beef up front hasn't been something San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch has shied away from over the last few years.
The Niners have consistently invested heavily along the defensive line over the last few drafts, adding premium talents like Mykel Williams on Day 1, Robert Beal Jr. on the edge, along with Alfred Collins and C.J. West inside. Yet despite the influx of youth and traits, the production hasn’t matched the pedigree -- San Francisco sits last in the NFL with just 12 sacks over 11 weeks, and the injuries of Nick Bosa and Fred Warner have amplified the unit’s lack of disruption.
