Cat Crave Mock Draft 1.0
By Josh Adler
30. San Francisco 49ers: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, FSU
D: Ideally, the Niners would be looking for a viable deep threat here, but this board didn’t break their way. This selection would fit ironically well, however, as the 6’5″ 235-pound WR can out-leap smaller corners for the ball and then brutalize them after the catch. He must develop as he’s been too dependent on that in college and needs help running routes, but Jim Harbaugh’s an ex-QB who can teach this kid. It’s also a strong organization that should help with his maturity as they are known to be patient with developing their talent from within. A defensive tackle wouldn’t be out of the question here, either, depending on how their own board looks. Justin Smith is starting to show cracks in the ole armor. Their pick would probably be Allen Robinson if Carolina goes with a tackle and Sean Payton doesn’t grab him to begin with.
