SANTA CLARA Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey , Calif. (AP) —n at several positions, the San Francisco 49ers felt they met all three objectives with their eight selections in the NFL draft.With high picks in every round each of the first two days, the 49ers obtained prospects that could make a difference on both sides of the ball for a team that won 10 games combined during the first two years general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan have guided the franchise.“You try to improve your team wherever you can,” Shanahan said Saturday. “It’s not the easiest thing. We were in some good draft spots this year where we could draft to add players better than the guys we had.”San Francisco completed two trades Saturday to add two extra picks on the draft’s final day.After trading down in the fourth round, the 49ers addressed a position where they’d sustained their biggest loss during free agency in March. San Francisco then drafted for depth with its fifth-round pick and each of its three selections in the sixth round.WHO THEY GOTThe 49ers acquired one of the draft’s premier prospects in Ohio State defensive lineman Nick Bosa with the No. 2 overall pick, then addressed their lack of playmaking talent at wide receiver by selecting South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel (second round, No. 36 overall) and Baylor’s Jalen Hurd (third, No. 67) with their Day 2 picks.San Francisco’s Day 3 picks were highlighted by the selection of Utah punter Mitch Wishnowsky in the fourth round (No. 110). The 49ers added two sixth-round selections from Cincinnati when trading down from the No. 104 pick, taking Vanderbilt offensive tackle Justin Skule and Virginia cornerback Tim Harris with those picks.The 49ers also added Stanford tight end Kaden Smith with their sixth-round pick (No. 176) and Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw (No. 148) with the fifth-round selection the team received when San Francisco traded linebacker Dekoda Watson and a sixth-round pick to the Denver Broncos.SURPRISE MOVEFor a team needing help to shore up one of the NFL’s weakest defensive backfields, the 49ers instead used their first selection Saturday on a specialist, taking Wishnowsky after trading down with the Bengals to acquire picks.Wishnowsky was the first specialist selected this year, and also is the first punter drafted during the opening four rounds since 2012.He’ll compete with veteran Justin Vogel to replace Bradley Pinion, San Francisco’s fifth-round pick in 2015 who left the team as a free agent in March to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.HOW THEY DIDThe 49ers added a first-round prospect to their defensive line for the fourth time in their past five drafts, with Bosa joining Arik Armstead (2015) http://www.49erscheapstore.com/nick-bosa-jersey-cheap , DeForest Buckner (2016) and Solomon Thomas (2017) to potentially complete a fearsome front that also added expensive edge rusher Dee Ford in free agency.The 49ers also added a physical dimension the team had been lacking at receiver with Samuel and a red zone threat the team lacks with Hurd, whom Shanahan said also could be a factor at running back and tight end as he develops.Wishnowsky has the tools to become a top-flight punter and each of San Francisco’s other four picks all have the ability to make the team and contribute as rookies, according to Lynch.The biggest need the 49ers failed to address is at safety, where the team started several different combinations of players last season.WHAT’S NEXTAfter trading for Ford, giving him a big contract and then stocking up in the draft and spending big in free agency, the 49ers hope they have now stockpiled enough talent to make a move up the standings in the third year of the Lynch/Shanahan regime.The 49ers continue to build around franchise quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, whom the team is counting on this year to return from an ACL tear that ended his season in Week 3 last year. Running back Jerick McKinnon, one of the team’s top acquisitions in 2018 free agency, also returns after missing all of last season with an ACL tear.The biggest issue looming for the 49ers as they continue to shape their training camp roster is the status of free agent kicker Robbie Gould, whom the team has retained at the franchise tag rate of $4.971 million for kickers.Gould has been unable to come to an agreement with the team on a multiyear contract and reportedly requested a trade earlier this week. They are getting ignored half the time. It’s nice to see some respect." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteNiners Nationa San Francisco 49ers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibrary49ersOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 49ers Salary CapLevi’s Stadium Events49ers Transactions49ers Injury News49ers Press Conferences & Conference CallsTwo 49ers make it on Pete Prisco’s top-100 NFL Players of 2019New,34commentsThey are getting ignored half the time. It’s nice to see some respect. PDTShareTweetShareShareTwo 49ers make it on Pete Prisco’s top-100 NFL Players of 2019Maybe when the San Francisco 49ers start winning they’ll make more top-lists. Today, we live in 2019, and the 49ers aren’t making much of anything. Whether it’s DeForest Buckner getting left off a top-defensive lineman list, the entire team (including George Kittle) getting left off of Pro Football Focus’ top-50 players entering the 2019 season list,or just one play getting recognized in the 100 best Nick Mullens Color Rush Jersey , the 49ers can’t catch a break as far as recognition. But today, CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco can be everyone’s hero. He has his top-50 players list and two 49ers make the list. Obvious names, but the obvious isn’t really noticed in today’s NFL analytical world. At 51, Prisco has defensive lineman DeForest Buckner: Yes, growth. Growth with an issue-plagued defensive line. Forget Nick Bosa or Dee Ford, it’s curious to see what Buckner can do with some consistency on the line. This will be something interesting to see during the season. All one can hope with Buckner is that he gets some respect, because in 2018 despite the issues above he had none. And at 70, we have Mr. Record Breaker himself, George Kittle: He also has the record for most receiving yards by a tight end. It’s nice to see Kittle make a list, but 70 seems just a bit high. If he can do anything to replicate that 2018 season, his positioning on these lists should exponentially improve. The 49ers have plenty of players that could make these lists, but Buckner and Kittle seem like no-brainers. Perhaps if they can win more than a handful of games they’ll get some respect. Speaking of this list, in particular, are there any other players besides Buckner and Kittle you’d add to a top-100?
