Coming into the 2019 season, part of the San Francisco 49ers fanbase was up in arms at the fact the team did not address needs in the secondary via free agency or the NFL Draft.
Ironically, the 2018 offseason had fans upset about the front seven being neglected when 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan notably said, “You’d have to be pretty good to beat out Cassius Marsh.”
This offseason, those cries were heard, and instead of addressing the back-end, general manager John Lynch traded a 2020 second-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for pass-rush specialist Dee Ford, then drafted defensive end Nick Bosa out of Ohio State University with the second-overall pick in the NFL Draft.
