Where the 2017 NFL Draft class regressed, the 2018 class took a huge step forward. Well, that was the theme of the San Francisco 49ers season this year. In nearly every single place with a rookie and a second-year player, the rookie was the one finishing out the season.
At linebacker, Reuben Foster got moved off the MIKE spot by Fred Warner before Foster got released by the team. At cornerback, with Ahkello Witherspoon struggling throughout the season and eventually getting injured, rookie Tarvarius Moore came in with a great effort.
