49ers Camp: Cornerbacks Dominate, Linebackers Stand Out, Edge Depth in Question

TL;DR Summary
San Francisco’s training camp is already revealing strengths and weaknesses: the cornerback room has depth and energy under Raheem Morris, with newcomers and veterans pushing a feisty, versatile unit; the linebacker corps looks solid behind Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw, with Nick Martin flashing as a potential starter; however, the defensive end spot is thin due to injuries, even as Nick Bosa begins ramping up; offensively, Christian McCaffrey remains explosive into his 30s, with Deebo Samuel expected to help shoulder the load while backups recover, and several roster battles (QB, punter) are ongoing as practice continues.
