The 49ers landed some gems in Round 2 of the NFL Draft before, particularly with running back Roger Craig and offensive lineman Randy Cross.

The San Francisco 49ers have no shortage of examples why it doesn’t necessarily matter where a player is selected in the NFL Draft.

While first-round picks always garner the most attention and are typically under the most scrutiny, mid- and late-round additions can be just as impactful. The Niners learned this recently in 2017 with All-Pro tight end George Kittle.
