Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah predict the top of the 49ers draft (NFL network)
I watched the video clip and summarized what they said about each pick.
1st round: 9th overall: LB/DE Marcus Davenport UTSA
- Already being scouted by us, 49ers position coach has been to his pro day.
- Edge rusher.
- Comfortable rushing from upright stance, athleticism to get home, potential to become a 10 sack season artist
2nd round: 59th overall: G Austin Corbitt, Nevada,
- To upgrade at starter G over Laken Tomlinson.
- Comfortable as an interior blocker as well as getting into secondary, has "swing" ability to play both tackle and guard.
3rd round: 70th overall: CB Holton Hill, Texas, to sit behind Ahkello Witherspoon
- To sit behind Richard Sherman and Ahkello Witherspoon
- Tall, long arms, can get in on edge, can press in coverage, "Richard Sherman-esque" in build
4th round: 74th overall: DE Da'Shawn Hand, Alabama
- To sit behind and possibly replace Arik Armstead
- Fits new scheme better than Armstead
