Sticking to the subject of current New York Jets defenders the 49ers should want, here is another one.

Kyle Shanahan prefers his linebackers to be run-stoppers, since they have defensive ends like Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd doing the pass-rushing. They already have Fred Warner, one of the best middles in the game; however, he and outside Dee Winters could use more help, with De'Vondre Campbell expected to leave after his suspension and Dre Greenlaw potentially joining him ont he way out.

So occupying the other outside end of this core should be Jamien Sherwood, the reigning top solo tackler in the league. Just imagine him and the aforementioned two killing run plays everywhere.
