While LB isn't a huge need obviously, Liufau really does have the potential to be a special player in the NFL. The intensity he plays with, his awareness and understanding of what offenses are trying to do, motor and constant improvement throughout college make me believe that at worst he'll be a solid starting LB in the NFL and also a very good special teams contributor.

Lots of good here from the #808. Vyper Jordan Botelho (12) stones a 6-5/325 OL on the trap and then tosses him to the ground. Marist Liufau absolutely destroys the TE to get the TFL. pic.twitter.com/C4MovYym0a

We talk about playing fast on defense with greater understanding of your roll and Marist Liufau shows that here and he brings the hit stick with him. pic.twitter.com/5QLJXKeCHr

Niners have eleven draft picks and adding some earlier round depth would not be the worst thing. Getting another great coverage LB and solid tackler who can also blitz on occasion sounds like a good idea.
