The NFL combine is in full swing. The 49ers draft begins at the tail end of the third round, and the team has several needs. Center, safety, interior defensive line, and edge jump out immediately for the 49ers.

The 49ers strategy has been clear during the Kyle Shanahan/John Lynch tenure. Building in the trenches, on both sides of the ball. Last season, four draft picks were used on the defensive and offensive lines combined. Not to mention, the undrafted free agents signed.
Drake Jackson, Spencer Burford, Nick Zakelj, and Kalia Davis were selected, and Burford started at right guard.
