Others could come along later, but as of now, they haven't.

Well, there's been...

2015
P.J. Williams - Starting Cornerback. Impressed in camps, could be our best CB. Leading the team in tackles up to this point.
Tyler Davison - Rotational Defensive Tackle. Hasn't overwhelmed anyone but has shown flashes.
Hau'oli Kikaha - Rotational Edge Defender. Impressed in his rookie season with 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 2 passes defended. 1 sack in his one game this season

2016
Von Bell - Third Safety. Hard hitting free safety that maybe better at strong safety. Used in three safety sets.
David Onymata - Rotational Nose Tackle. Listed on the roster as a nose tackle but can play several spots on the Dline.
Sheldon Rankins - Defensive Tackle. Put up respectable numbers his rookie season.

2017
Marshon Lattimore - Starting CB. Starting as a rookie. He's been very good in coverage so far.
Marcus Williams - Starting Free Safety. Also starting as a rookie. By all accounts, he has excellent instincts.
Alex Anzalone - Starting weak side linebacker. Physically gifted. 8 tackles, 1 sack and 1 pass defended in his first two games.

Those are the guys playing on defense right now. There's also a couple of guys with potential like Hendrickson and Muhammad. And some undrafted free agents.

That's a whole lotta guys to just write off.
