Now that the NFL Draft is over, Niner Noise makes predictions for every new San Francisco 49ers rookie’s role and stats for the 2018 season.

San Francisco 49ers  general manager John Lynch’s first ever NFL Draft last year was a success, to say the least. Almost everybody drafted became a starter at some point on the team, and it was not just because of lack of talent on the roster.

As a result, lofty expectations were set upon Lynch this year by the majority of not just 49ers fans, but fans across the league.

Did he meet my expectations?

No, but for now, I want to focus on the players he did acquire.

So without further ado, here are my role and stat predictions for each rookie’s role and stats for the 2018 season.
