San Francisco 49ers: Analyzing the 2018 rookie NFL Draft class one year later
No. 9: Kentavius Street, Defensive Lineman
2018 ranking prediction: 9th
What I said:
"Unfortunately for Street, he’s last on this ranking for an unrelated reason. Street tore his ACL in a pre-draft workout for the New York Giants, and he’s almost certain to be put on injured reserve for this season. No production makes Street an obvious selection."

2018 production:
There really isn’t much to say about this one. Defensive tackle Kentavius Street did indeed spend the year on injured reserve and didn’t take the field whatsoever.
I got this one correct, but it was a pretty obvious choice, which isn’t a reflection on Street, nor my ability to predict anything.
2019 status:
Street is now healthy and has been impressive lifting weights. He’ll have a tough job getting into the rotation with the additions of edge rushers Nick Bosa and Dee Ford.
That said, there’s always room for pass-rushers. If Street can show potential either on the EDGE or inside he can be a handy rotational defensive lineman.
