Round 1, Pick 2

The Pick: Malik Hooker, FS (Ohio State)

Let’s be honest, nobody has any clue what the 49ers are going to do here, but Malik Hooker makes too much sense.

Ball skills, athleticism and incredible range to play the single-high safety role, he is a perfect fit for Robert Saleh’s defense.

Take him and enjoy. Oh and move Jimmie Ward back to corner.
