The 2019 NFL Draft is over and the San Francisco 49ers hopefully took huge stars over coming years. Niner Noise power ranks draftees by how they can help the team now.

Well, the 2018 NFL Draft is done, and the newest batch of San Francisco 49ers are here.

Whether or not you like the crop of draftees, they’re here and they’re ready to go.

Every year, there are a few players who jump out the gates quickly. Last season, the Niners enjoyed the likes of wide receiver Dante Pettis, linebacker Fred Warner and offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey jumping fast out of the starting gates to become key parts of the team by the end of 2018.

This season, we should expect more of the same: Some players will be bursting out of the blocks, whether they’re starters or depth.

But who will have the most impact? That’s what this article is trying to predict.

While some players will not surprise readers in where they are on this list, I think there may be one or two decisions that could make them think. Some prospects I’m especially higher on than others, and I believe will earn their way into substantial playing time and, thus, impact.

Several things go into this to determine who goes where. The current depth of the team, individual talent and good old-fashioned gut instinct, especially.

So let’s take a look.
