No. 9 San Francisco 49ers (6-10)
The Pick: Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia
Man, Patrick Willis, NaVarro Bowman and Ahmad Brooks were this team’s starting linebackers just four years ago.
Now, none of them remain.
The 49ers are a team that could also look wide receiver with their first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, but unless one really “wows” them at the Combine, I think general manager John Lynch will adapt a “draft the best players and trust the gathering process” attitude now that their quarterback is in place and take a player many believe is a Top 3 prospect in the class in Smith.
