49ers draft grades: Some surprise picks lead to a wide range of marks for 2018 class | The Sacramento Bee

The only position the 49ers could have drafted for that would've been a huge surprise was quarterback.

After locking up Jimmy Garoppolo during the offseason, that spot was set. The draft would be the place where San Francisco would find other positions to build on the momentum the former New England Patriots backup helped the 49ers achieve at the end of last season.

Unlike with the Raiders, a team widely expected to look at defense, analysts were a bit more spread out in their pre-draft predictions regarding the 49ers. So some were a bit shocked by the selection of Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey.
