San Francisco 49ers: Evaluating 2018 rookie NFL Draft pick, Fred Warner

Eleven weeks into the 2018 season, the San Francisco 49ers have received better-than above-average performances from two of their nine selections from this year’s NFL Draft, offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey and linebacker Fred Warner.

McGlinchey, the Niners’ first overall pick from this year’s draft, is already living up to the top-10 billing status. Warner, however, didn’t carry quite as high an investment after being selected in Round 3, No. 70 overall.

Through 11 weeks of the season, we’ve seen both good and bad things from the BYU rookie. On a positive note, he leads San Francisco’s defense with 77 tackles, which is more than double that of the next player on the list, defensive tackle Arik Armstead (33).
