Who to watch at the Senior Bowl game + realistic targets for 49ers in the Draft

The Senior Bowl is not about the game at the end of the week. Instead, the Senior Bowl is a chance for teams to get 1-on-1 time with players and see them in a team environment throughout the week of practice. How players respond to coaching, how they fare in meetings, and how they acclimate to the rise in competition during drills is the foundation of the event. That being said, the week of practices only offers so much, and many of the drills can be set up for one side of the ball to win. Additionally, some positions such as linebacker and running back can have a difficult time standing out given the nature of the practices.
