Looking forward to the third round Cooper Krupp and Quincy Wilson would be players I can hope to see around when the Niners pick.

Looks like the Niners are set at LB for now (Brooks, Bow & Foster), but Brooks will be a FA after this season; and the 2 vets aren't exactly young.

I'm intrigued at the prospect of drafting Jordan Willis to play SLB. He'd be kind of a project, but the Niners have time.

GM Lynch trades down one spot, gets haul of picks

The 49ers first-year GM John Lynch made a big splash with his first pick by trading down one spot and picking up additional draft picks both this year and a third round pick in 2018. The 49ers GM then took Solomon Thomas to add more talent to their front-seven. The pick for San Francisco is interesting in that the 49ers have spent considerable draft capital on defensive linemen Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner in recent drafts. Thomas finished 2016 with the No.1 run-defense grade (92.0) and the No. 6 pass-rushing grade (86.9) among FBS interior defensive linemen. Thomas can also provide pass-rush both inside at DT in sub-packages and outside at DE in base defense; he racked up 10 sacks, 12 hits, and 22 hurries in 2016. — Jordan Plocher, @PFF_Jordan

Medical, off-field concerns don’t keep Foster from first round

The wait is over for one of the draft’s most impressive players on the field. Foster was projected to be taken in the top 10, but a disastrous draft-prep season left teams with a number of questions. The 49ers are an intriguing fit, as we compared him to retired San Francisco great LB Patrick Willis in his scouting report. He is a physical and athletic presence capable of excelling in all three phases of defense. He led all FBS inside linebackers in run-stop percentage last season, and posted nine pass breakups while giving up no touchdowns in coverage the last two seasons for the Crimson Tide. If his shoulders don’t hold him back in the NFL, he has all the ability needed to be a top player at his position. — Josh Liskiewitz, @PFF_Josh

49ERS 'ECSTATIC' WITH FIRST-DAY DRAFT HAUL

Jacksonville executive Tom Coughlin, whose team held the No. 4 pick, watched and admired the 49ers' move from afar.

"To get what you had in mind right off the bat and pick up those extra picks? Pretty nice deal," Coughlin told Jacksonville reporters. "I’ve never seen one of those. . . Oh, my gosh. Nothing like that has ever come my way.”
