I might be inclined to agree with you on this, but the fact one is a RB that suffered a season ending Lis Franc injury, one is a CB that got off to a slow start last year and seemingly is a zone CB, and Little and Cisco didn't get any significant playing time until late last year under the disastrous UM regime gives me pause.

How many of those guys are definitive scheme fits under Pederson, much less quality starters?

I figure Trevor and Etienne are fits.

Maybe Walker Little.  But is he a starter?  If so, where?  If we keep Cam Robinson, does he start over him, or does little move to RT?  What if the team drafts Evan Neal?

Cisco?  If he was slow to pick up the defense last year, will he be slow to pick up the new schemes?

Little and Cisco look like above average starters in any system. I blame Meyer for not starting them, just like not playing JRob. Campbell is a starter too. I’m no Baalke defender, but you can’t say he should’ve been drafting corners to fit Pederson’s defensive coordinator’s scheme. I think this looks like Baalke’s best draft, whereas his 49ers drafts were awful. ETN was a pure Meyer pick. It was going to be a running back or smallish receiver/gadget player to replicate Percy Harvin.
