The San Francisco 49ers have added considerable depth to their defensive line in the form of DeForest Buckner. Will he or the recently extended Quinton Dial end up on the field more this season?
The San Francisco 49ers saw history repeat itself in the 2016 NFL Draft. For the second straight season, the team spent a first round pick on a University of Oregon defensive lineman. A year after selecting Arik Armstead with the 17th overall pick, the 49ers selected DeForest Buckner with the seventh overall pick.
The question now is what kind of role do we expect from Buckner in his rookie season.
