The 49ers find themselves in a spot where they don’t need to worry about positional need when they select 61st in this year’s draft. There isn’t one major need that stands above the others, so just getting a high-quality player in the building should be their lone priority. They do check a box with their pick in a mock draft from the Athletic when they take Auburn cornerback Roger McCreary.
McCreary has been a popular name off the board to San Francisco late in the second round. He doesn’t fit the prototypical CB archetype we’ve seen the 49ers go after the last couple years with a more compact 5-11,190-pound frame with 29-inch arms.
