Niners, 'Bama & Biscuits
San Francisco 49ers Best pick: DE Tank Carradine (No. 40 overall) -- The Niners, arguably, had the best draft from top to bottom, especially with what they had to work with starting at No. 31. They were aggressive, they moved up and drafted with a sense of scheme in every round. They don't have a ton of open roster space, but GM Trent Baalke did a great job filling what needs the Niners had. As for Carradine this was a terrific pick. When healthy, he was the best FSU defensive line prospect this season. The reason the Niners got him at No. 40 was the ACL injury he suffered late in the season. The Niners don't need to rush him onto the field and when he is back at full strength, I think they get one of the best 25 players in this draft. Also, they got a steal with Quinton Patton and it's hard not to pull for Marcus Lattimore, who will be handled properly by the Niners. Questionable pick: TE Vance McDonald (No. 55 overall) -- McDonald's ball skills are inconsistent and he has a little stiffness in his movement. However, he does have a big frame, is a solid blocker and I understand the fit here, because he has a chance to contribute right away in San Francisco's two-tight-end package.
