49ers draft another running back in the 3rd round in latest 3-round mock draft

It’s not quite a consensus pick, but Graham Barton out of Duke has been the player mocked to the San Francisco 49ers at the end of round 1 routinely. That didn’t change in Bleacher Reports post NFL Combine mock:

“The 49ers can get by with middling offensive linemen apart from Trent Williams,” Thorn said, “but their right side became an issue down the stretch, and even center is due for an upgrade.

“Barton could feasibly play any of the five positions, though he’s best suited inside, so either center or right guard is likely where he’d slot on this unit, giving the team a high-end run-blocker who has angles, timing and finishing skills nearly mastered.
