1. Tremaine Edmunds, Linebacker, Virginia Tech

With Reuben Foster officially charged with felony domestic abuse, his future with the team is now in doubt.

There’s no hiding about it anymore. Whether or not Foster remains on the team, the team must behave now under the assumption that he will not.

That leaves a huge hole at linebacker, and the perfect prospect to fill it.

Amazingly just 19 years old, Tremaine Edmunds ticks all the boxes the 49ers needs in a linebacker. He’s fast, athletic and is a fantastic football player, and it’s very like the 49ers will get the chance to draft him.
