One day after signing edge rusher Romello Height, the 49ers signed fourth-round pick Gracen Halton to his four-year rookie deal today, according to Adam Schefter.

Dude could very well be a 4th round steal as a rotational pass rushing DT.

From Lance Zierleine: “He’s an energetic, gap-to-gap rusher who can threaten guards on their edges or play his role as an effective twister. Finding the right scheme fit will be critical for Halton in the NFL.”

Sounds good to me. A better set of DTs and a more effective pass rush will doo wonders for this defense. Yeah, we were severely limited due to the number of major injuries, but still and all, I’d love to see a more aggressive and attacking defense.
