Below are some of the reactions from Kinlaw's new 49ers teammates following the selection.
Kendrick Bourne on Thursday predicted that the 49ers would add a receiver. His choice was Henry Ruggs III of Alabama. Both he and Jerry Jeudy were still available.
Kinlaw this week named the 49ers as the team he most wanted to join.
"They just a wonderful group of guys, a talented group that works together," Kinlaw said via a Bleacher Report AMA. "They work together for the same goal, not individual achievements, and that's to get the win at the end of the day. That's what I want to be a part of, someone who looks at it as a whole."
