THE 49ers of San Francisco Pouting from their defensive line before adding to it, and it may have given us a strong index on their plans in Tour 1 of the draft of this year’s NFL.
On Sunday, Mike Garafolo from NFL Media reported that the 49ers should publish the defensive platform Maliek Collins. The press release will add $ 5,432,000 in total of the dead ceiling of the NFL of the 49ers.
The release of Collins is interesting because he was a productive player for the 49ers. They acquired it by trade Houston Texans Last off -season. He then started the 17 games for San Francisco and equaled his career summit with 5.0 bags.
It goes without saying that age is at least part of the impetus behind the release of Collins. The 49ers must be younger if they want to extend their Super Bowl window, and Collins is 30 years old in early April. Given the lack of start -up options elsewhere on the list, his release may point out that San Francisco plans to use their first -round choice on a defensive tackle that they think they can intervene and start immediately.
They may hope that the Mason Graham of the University of Michigan is falling to them. They could even be in love with players like Kenneth Grant of Michigan or Walter Nolen of OLE MISS. There are day 2 and 3 options that they can also watch. Their need on the DL is large enough for the use of several choices in advance may be necessary this year because they rebuild this group.
