Round 2, Pick No. 34 Overall — Adoree Jackson, USC

Adoree Jackson was a five-star recruit coming out of high school and was a consistent playmaker for the Trojans. Jackson is a freak athlete, who played both ways at USC and returned kicks, which adds to his value.

The Niners are in need of an electric player who can match up well in zone coverage with the new 4-3 defense being installed. Jackson has first-round talent but will likely fall out of the first due to character concerns.

The Niners would rush to the podium and nab him up at the top of Round 2, given his flexibility to play in multiple spots.
