5. San Francisco 49ers (via TEN)

42. The roster of the San Francisco 49ers needs so much work that more picks are required to fix it. So they move back in a deal with Tennessee to acquire them. One of their biggest problems of late has been run defense. Things really went south after losing NaVarro Bowman for the season. This speaks to a talent and depth problem at inside linebacker. Something that was unthinkable three years ago. <p>Alabama is the honey hole for defense in this class and Reuben Foster is among the top names. He doesn’t get the hype like others but nobody is fooled. They can see his ability every week. Like most Saban-type linebackers he excels against the run, shooting gapes and making tackles. Where he separates from others is the instinct to read where plays go and the athleticism to move sideline-to-sideline. Keep him clean and he’ll feast on ball carriers.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster . 5. player
