This NFL Draft doesn’t have the same buzz as last year’s for the San Francisco 49ers, but that’s not to say that it can’t have a big impact.Spencer Burford – OL – Texas-San AntonioHe’s mean and he’s versatile. Sometimes that’s all you need in an offensive lineman, especially one that is being brought in for depth.
There were also multiple offensive linemen that I thought would have been a better option for either immediate playability, long-term upside or both. Burford hasn’t shown that he can play center, either. The Niners might have a grand plan, but in selecting a guard, it would be ideal to have someone who can slide over to center, not tackle.What it tells us:
The Niners still value versatility above all when it comes to offensive line depth. Burford will be pegged as Daniel Brunskill’s replacement.No problems here. He was considered a last-ditch Day 2, early Day 3 pick. That’s where he went.Sorry, but I can’t get upset about picking a player that has strong tape and versatility on the offensive line. And on Day 3, it’s not as if you’re going to land a starting-caliber player. This is a totally fine pick, concerns and all.
