» 49ers' 2015 draft class

The 49ers only picked three defensive players, but they didn't waste any time doing it. Versatile Oregon defensive lineman Arik Armstead, Samford safety Jaquiski Tartt and Virginia outside linebacker Eli Harold represented the first two days of San Francisco's draft in the first, second and third rounds, respectively. A Samford coach recently told College Football 24/7 that Tartt will bring the ability to play multiple roles in various defensive packages for the 49ers. For the 49ers' defensive draft class to belong on this list a few years from now, none of these three can bust, but nobody can argue with Trent Baalke's commitment to that side of the ball. San Francisco was one of only three NFL teams to use its first three picks on defense. Still, that the club didn't draft an inside linebacker after the retirements of Patrick Willis and Chris Borland was curious at best.
