No matter the year, no matter the circumstances, you can always count on the 49ers having an interest in reinforcing their defensive line. Fortunately for them, this year's draft class is loaded with talented edge rushers that project to be available on day two. Among them is Minnesota’s Boye Mafe.
Mafe is an incredibly gifted athlete who would project well into a potential role opposite Nick Bosa and could immediately impact an already loaded defensive line. Mafe is capable of playing the 5-technique shaded just outside the opposing tackle while also having the versatility to kick outside to the 9-tech spot in Kris Kocurek’s Wide-9 front.
