There were not many available options a year ago as the 49ers looked to upgrade their deficient pass rush.
Things are looking a lot better this year. And the 49ers will get a close look this month at some of the top players available when they coach the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
“There's good pass rushers in this draft,” 49ers general manager John Lynch said. “I think that's a strength of this draft. That will be. Everyone is looking for those guys, so I think we're excited. Everybody is excited for that.”
Josh Allen (Kentucky) is generally rated as one of top pass rushers and a likely top-five selection.
