Draft review

The goal was to make the team better, and drafting the very best player in the draft that’s an EDGE from Ohio State was very… San Francisco of them.

I liked a lot of these moves. If they can figure out how to use the talented gadget player Antonio Gibson and combine him with the tall Antonio Gandy-Golden, they could have a pair of talented receivers for the next 10 years.

The offensive line picks were solid acquisitions that late, while the defenders all have developmental talent. This was a promising start for the Ron Rivera era.
