The 49ers walked away with nine players in the 2018 NFL Draft. Reactions are mixed for now.
The 2019 NFL Draft is a wrap and the San Francisco 49ers are working their way through undrafted free agency. If history indicates anything, the 49ers should find an undrafted free agent or two that they can put on the roster, but for now, the focus is on what the 49ers came away with after three days of drafting.
Here are links to all nine of the picks, each of which includes a poll asking for an A-through-F grade. The early picks were well received but by about the time the 49ers drafted their second wide receiver in a row, some were scratching their heads on what the team was doing. There seems to be a purpose for all these picks, but right now we’re still looking for what that purpose is.
1. First round: No. 2 overall Nick Bosa, Defensive end, Ohio State
2. Second round: (36 overall)Deebo Samuel, Wide receiver, South Carolina
3. Third round: (67 overall)Jalen Hurd, Wide receiver, Baylor
4. Fourth round: (110 overall) Mitch Wishnowsky, Punter, Baylor
5. Fifth round: (No. 148) Dre Greenwood, linebacker, Arkansas
6. Sixth round: (No. 176) Kaden Smith, tight end, Stanford
7. Sixth round: (183 overall) Justin Skule, OT, Vanderbilt
8. Sixth round: (198 overall) Tim Harris, CB, Virginia
With the full class officially settled, how do you grade the 49ers full class? I’ve expanded out the grading a bit so people can consider a little more nuance to their thought process. If you can’t see the poll, click here.
