It really depends on the matchup.
The 49ers would match up great against the Ravens, I think, because of their speed at the second level.
Against the Chiefs? The Patriots and Chargers are much better matchups because of the quality and athleticism of their secondaries, which let them play all sorts of coverages.
The Patriots’ D also doesn’t have a difference-making player who is only on the field in sub packages like the 49ers do with Dee Ford.
