Heading into the NFL Draft, we knew the 49ers would select a quarterback at No. 3 overall. After that, many analysts, including myself, thought the 49ers could add depth at wide receiver and edge rusher.
When we went over the best players available heading into Day 2, we mentioned how the teams’ confidence in Jalen Hurd and Dee Ford would be voiced based on their selections for the rest of the draft.
Several picks later, and there was no edge rusher selected nor a pass rusher. That’s an endorsement for both players.
