The 49ers spend three straight picks on defense providing some much needed youth to the linebacker core.
Addison Barnett is a bit undersized at 6 ft 231 but makes up for size in strength and quickness the 21 y/o Oregon outside backer is going to shine in a Coach Deon’s defensive scheme. We’re excited to get to work with the kid and look forward to him being an anchor to this defense.
DeVante Terry stands 6”1 241 pounds but has a unique combination of speed and quickness that will have him hindering quarterbacks in the SFL for years to come. He’s going to get a unique opportunity to come off the edge as teams double Nick Bosa. He was an excellent run defender at Clemson but in order to make a impact on this defense he will have to show more than just a good bill rush and add to his arsenal.
Daniel Burroughs will get to back up Fred Warner at MLB the 6”2 233 lbs Ohio State product. He has a ton of raw athletic potential and will benefit greatly being behind the best MLB in the SFL.
5”8 189 lbs soaking wet Donte Green toasted receivers during his 3 seasons at Kent State. He completely ran through the MAC. The niners needed to add more depth at receiver .. he joins one of the tiniest receiver cores in the SFL.
We signed undrafted free agent receiver Tavarres Hayward who had a injury filled career at Auburn. He stands 6”3 and will provide needed size as he, Brandon Aiyuk and Brian Wake are the only receivers who are not 5”9. In addition, we signed Alabama standout Dell Hatchett, there was a ton of drama surrounding his name with off field issues but Coach Deon did his due diligence and gave the kid an opportunity.
