As the 49ers approach the NFL draft, their focus is on revitalizing their defensive line after releasing three key starters. Head coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the crucial nature of the defensive line in their strategy, stating that it has been central to the team's past successes. Despite the draft's depth in defensive talent, the 49ers must make wise selections to foster competitiveness and inject youth into the team. The organization is striving for improvement, especially given their mixed history with previous defensive line drafts.
"The 49ers cut the three starters who flanked Nick Bosa from last year's dreadful defense. Free agency didn't bring a single replacement."
"We do have to hit on some of these draft picks, Shanahan said. We have to add in some youth. We have to change it up a little bit."
