49ers positional power rankings: Hats off to the secondary

Back with another edition of power rankings, 49ers edition. Let’s get right into it.

1. Secondary:

Yes, I said it. The addition of Mooney Ward wasn’t immediately received by 49ers fans. However, when you step back and look at his addition, in unison with Emmanuel Moseley, it is the best cornerback situation during the Shanahan/Lynch era. Jimmie Ward hasn’t taken a snap yet, but Tashaun Gipson has filled in admirably. Talanoa Hufanga has been nothing short of spectacular through three games. Coverage has been married with this pass rush. Samuel Womack began as the starting nickel corner, but Deommodore Lenoir started Sunday and played very well.
