Matt Maiocco from NBC Sports Bay Area picks for the 49ers in our Mock Draft. Matt didn’t agree with Rick that WR is a big need for the 49ers based on Kyle Shanahan’s system. Matt did say they would probably address the WR position in rounds 3 or 4. Matt told us the 49ers believe Jimmy Garoppolo is the real deal and almost became the defacto leader before he even took a snap.

Matt discussed the money they paid RB Jerick McKinnon in free agency and how the 49ers pinpointed him as the guy they wanted. Matt described how he thinks the 49ers defense will play this season with the edition of Richard Sherman but also the offseason problems for some of their players. Matt says they feel good about the CB’s but need a dominant pass rusher. Matt picked Tremaine Edwards. ​
