2. player. 42. This is a selection that I’ve been vocal about for nearly a month now. The 49ers are in need of a playmaker on both sides of the ball. John Lynch doesn’t need to hit a home run with his first pick in the NFL Draft, just a double, a player that can contribute at a Pro Bowl level for a majority of his career.

With Hooker’s ball skills, speed and size, he’d be an ideal fit at the back end of the defense with Eric Reid.. Safety. Ohio State. Malik Hooker
