11. San Francisco 49ers

CB. Georgia. Deandre Baker . 11. player. 42.

John Lynch is free to continue building that 49ers defense knowing that Kyle Shanahan has things well in hand with the offense. The league today is about the pass. Teams that have more cornerbacks who can cover tend to have the better defenses. San Francisco isn’t there yet. They need one more at least. Deandre Baker was one of the best players on that Georgia defense that led the way to the national title game last year. He’s tough, physical, athletic and can cover anybody despite his average 5’11 size. Couple him with the promising Ahkello Witherspoon and the 49ers would have something.
