1st round: Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford. Elite player in this draft class, extremely athletic, strong, and versatile. He can fit in at just about any spot on the defensive line if needed. whether it's at 2,8, or anywhere in between.. he should be the pick.
2nd round: Derek Rivers, DE/OLB, Youngstown St. One of the most underrated players in the draft. His stock is rising fast. He was projected in the 4th/5th before the combine, now he could go as high as late 1st. This guys can flat out play. Great technique and hand placement. Fast off the edge, great strength, and a highly productive college career. Yes, Youngstown St. is no Alabama or Florida, but they have a couple of really nice defensive prospects in this draft. Some scouts say that from the looks he would've dominated at a power 5 school and been a top 15 pick. Speculation of course, but boy can he play.
3rd round: Nathan Peterman, QB, Pittsburgh. The 49ers might have their QBofTF in this pick. Smart player from a well rounded offense. Displays good reads, nice footwork, and very nice accuracy. Not the biggest arm, but he makes up for it with accuracy, anticipation, and decision making. Under Shanahan he could turn into a great QB in this league. Doesn't turn the ball over with dumb decisions and led his team to a win over the national champion Clemson Tigers
4th round: Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia. Tall, athletic corner with very nice ball skills. Overlooked trait in most corners that he is pretty good at, tackling in the run game. He might be the most overlooked corner in this whole draft. With his size, statline, and physical ability, Rasul Douglas look like a top 5 corner.
4th round: Marlon Mack, RB, USF. Extremely underrated IMO. Highly productive and great COP back for Hyde. Great runner with great burst speed in open field, nice hands, and nice field vision. He has to learn to not try and score a TD every time he carries the ball though, many times he cuts back too often.. He's no day one starter, but in this offense and with Hyde to carry most of the load.. Mack would be a great player for the 49ers.
5th round: Connor Harris, Lindenwood, LB. NCAA's all time leader in tackles. While he may be slightly undersized at 5'11, this guy is a high motor animal. He seems to be at the bottom of every pile, makes sense with 633 career tackles. He seems like a great fit for the SAM LB in base downs out of the stack. He should provide great run support, along with a much improved DL. Two time small school player of the year award winner. 323 solo tackles, 34 TFL, 8.5 sacks, 6 INTs, 14 pass break ups, 3 forced fumbles, and 5 fumble recoveries.. This man is all over the field. 48 career games, 48 career starts.. he's a damn good football player. He even punted and place kicked at times. If juice ever goes down, he could be a great FB sub, 50 carries, 328 yards, and 7 TDs at Lindenwood.
5th round: Corey Levin, G, Chattanooga. Light, strong, and fast feet. Potential to become a starting guard in the NFL. the 3 year starter from UT Chattanooga is a solid OL pickup that has experience as a tackle and guard. His athleticism would make him a nice fit in SF's new offense.
6th round: Cole Hikutini, TE, Louisville. Despite signing Vance McDonald to an extension and adding another Logan Paulsen in free agency, SF still needs a TE with more than iffy hands.. Cole Hikutini could be that guy. He is big and will be a mismatch for LBs. Was extremely productive at Louisville, 50 catches, 8 TDs, and 668 yards in 2016. He's a California guy and even spent a season trying to build his name at City College of San Francisco. Come on back to San Fran, Cole.. we've got a spot for ya
6th: Fish Smithson, S, Kansas. One of my favorite safeties in this class. He was a bright spot on a bad team. team leader in tackles, and was productive in pass defense: INTs, 7 pass break-ups. Also provided 2 FF, 1 FR, 3.5 TFL, and 1 sack. 4.5 forty range, 36.5" vertical. Considered undersized by many at 5'10 1/2" and 201 pounds, but he plays great on film.
7th: Krishawn Hogan, WR, Marian University. - WHO?
The most overlooked prospect in the entire draft. He attended small Marian University in Indianapolis. This man posted one of the most freaky stat lines I've ever seen. He's a touchdown machine. Catching, rushing, you name it. 6'3", 222 pounds, 4.56 forty, 36.5" vertical (9th at combine), 6.74 in the 3 cone drill (6th at the combine), first year at Marian - 82 receptions for 1,136 yards and 11 touchdowns. He earned the first of three first-team Mideast League honors that year, repeating the feat in 2015 (101-1,824, 16 TD receiving; 39-130, 15 TD rushing). The American Football Coaches Association named him a first-team All-American in his senior year (80-1,435 yards, 15 TD receiving; 23-43, 10 TD rushing; pass TD); he was also his conference's Offensive Player of the Year. 
, but I like our current safeties. If this were our draft, the latter half is gold and full of potential.
