Conor Rogers knows what's up. BTW, that's Chris Simms, Kyle's BFF, gushing over Landry's ability to bend and then suggesting McGlinchey lol.

1 9 Harold Landry, EDGE, Boston College
I considered McGlinchey, Ward and obviously Minkah here. Ultimately, I think Roquan is off the board by the time the Niners pick, so Landry is the right call here. It’s not often teams get a chance to draft a pass rusher of Landry's caliber. Not only do I believe Landry has game-wrecking potential with his elite combination of bend and balance, but he'll also help turn Buckner's pressures into sacks by forcing quarterbacks to step up into the pocket.
2 59 Brian O'Neill, OT, Pittsburgh
Joe Staley is going to be 34 years old. Trent Brown is in the final year of his contract. The 49ers need to start grooming a tackle for the future. O’Neill is raw as hell and could take year or two to to develop, but he’s got rare athletic gifts that could culminate in a very talented tackle.
3 70 Fred Warner, LB, BYU
Fred Warner is another buttoned-up, squeaky clean prospect. A team Captain at BYU, Warner played the "overhang" role in their defense and saw action all over the field. In the NFL, however, he'll be strictly an off-ball LB, and for that reason, I think he’ll be a better pro than college player. He's long, athletic and shines in coverage with outstanding instincts and awareness.
3 74 Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
Back to the farm, Quenton Meeks is the prototypical cornerback for this scheme with the prototypical pedigree that team covets. He's tall, long and physical, and is the perfect player to groom under Sherm's tutelage, which is ironic because Richard Sherman said that Meeks reminds him of himself coming out of Stanford.
4 128 Kyzir White, S, West Virginia
Kyzir White is a John Lynch kind of guy--an absolute hammer on the gridiron. He brings leadership, work ethic, and to quote Saleh's words, extreme violence. He absolutely runs through ball carriers’ souls and is a perfect fit in the strong-safety Kam Chancellor role. He wreaks shop on special teams and gives the 49ers insurance for Jaquiski Tartt, who is entering the final year of his deal.
5 143 Auden Tate, WR, Florida State
One of the youngest prospects in the draft, Auden Tate is always open. He's a massive body and is the best 50/50 receiver in the draft. As a complete nightmare in the redzone for defenses, he provides an element that's sorely missing from the WR group. He'll specialize in redzone packages early on, but if Kyle can coach him up, watch out.
6 184 Colby Gossett, OG, Appalachian State
Like papa, Kyle waits until day three to grab a guard. Gossett is great value here. He plays with a mean streak and has the requisite athleticism to become a starter down the road in this offense.
7.) 227. Ade Aruna, EDGE, Tulane
Adam Peters was on Matt Maiocco’s podcast and said that they look for height/weight/speed prospects in the later rounds. Ade Aruna is precisely that. Aruna is a SPARQ athlete with multiple ELITE athletic scores in broad jump, vert, and 40-yard dash. He's big, explosive and flexible, and a good developmental edge player in a scheme that can never have enough edge rushers.
7.) 240. Foye Oluokun, LB, Yale
Sticking to height/weight/speed prospects on day 3, Foye fits the bill as an explosive, violent and athletic player coming out of Yale. He's a developmental LB, but he’s an electric athlete who is ready to contribute day one on special teams.
Wow no offensive skills position picks huhEnjoy 22stylez

5th round #143 overall
Avonte Maddox corner back Pittsburgh
Undersized but feisty. Would compete immediately at nickel corner with Kuwan Williams. Camp will tell if he’s a practice squad guy or reserve nickel.
6th round #184 overall
Hercules Mata’afa Defensive end Washington State
This guy embodies all gas no brakes and can be had late in draft due to poor workouts and being a tweener. He will be a special team stud. If he gets his opportunity to crack starting line up be careful he could start at Sam Backer.
7th round #233 overall
Siran Neal Jacksonville St. Strong Safety
Small school player with a lot of production and feel for the game. Plays well as in the box safety and 20 yards off Line of scrimmage. 49ers hit on another 7th round Safety Boom
