Round 2, Pick No. 34 – USC WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Another glaring hole for the 49ers is wide receiver. With no proven playmakers on the outside, it’s hard for the offense to operate at a high level.

It would drastically help by having a player like USC’s JuJu Smith-Schuster, who excels at being physical at the line of scrimmage and is capable of blocking corners with his size and strength.

He isn’t the fastest of the bunch, but the Niners have Torrey Smith already on the roster as a deep threat.

Smith-Schuster would fit in well as the split end receiver and, if he slips out of the first round, would be a steal for the Niners at the top of Round 2.

Round 3, Pick No. 66 – Florida ILB Jarrad Davis

The Florida standout is slightly undersized, standing at 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, but makes up for it with his aggressive pursuit on every play. He had a breakout campaign as a junior with 11 tackles for loss, per sports-reference.com, but elected to return for his senior year.

Jarrad Davis’ stock fell a bit due to some minor injuries, but the talent is there to excel at the next level.

He would compete with Ray-Ray Armstrong for the inside linebacker spot alongside NaVorro Bowman right away.
