Wrapping up the draft: 49ers pros and cons

SANTA CLARA — With the stipulation that nobody truly knows how draft picks will play out in both the near and distant future, some observations on the 49ers Class of 2019:

Help for Jimmy Garoppolo: All the 49ers need is for one of their two picks to deliver at wide receiver — second-round pick Deebo Samuel of South Carolina (second round, No. 36) or Jalen Hurd of Baylor (third round. 67) and they’ve given quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo some much needed help in the passing game to go along with tighit end George Kittle. Kyle Shanahan should make that happen on scheme alone.
