Our look at some of the top prospects in next year’s draft continues as we examine several key names to keep an eye on at edge. WR<\/a> | LB<\/a> | OL<\/a> | CB<\/a> | S<\/a> | TE<\/a><\/p>\n We continue our pre bowl season breakdown of the top prospects at positional rankings of note for the 49ers. Today, we take a look at another pressing need on the defensive side of the ball, the edge position.<\/p>\n The cold hard slap of reality has shattered 49ers’ expectations of the season, and the preseason high we were excitedly riding to cloud nine has quickly become a spiraling nose dive into a pool of misery with occasional gratifying highlights to provide glimmering hope for the future yet to come. Nevertheless, we are entering the time of season where a potentially high draft selection is creating some excitement amidst the sorrows of 49ers’ gameplay. The question is, is this the year the 49ers finally draft a glaring need fans have been clamoring for? <\/p>\n It is no secret the 49ers’ pass rush has been less than desirable for a few years now. To put it bluntly – the edge presence sucks, but this year could be easy pickins to draft the position we all want and have been waiting for. To allow us to collectively shout in unison, “FINALLY” when the selection is made. Time will tell, but here is to hoping the 49ers take a step in the right direction in transforming the team’s edge presence into a feared dominating force.<\/p>\n As this is the beginning of NFL Draft<\/a> season, keep in mind the rankings will be fluid and future rankings will inevitably feed your draft appetite. Nonetheless, let us know what you think in the comments below.<\/p>\n
