Happy draft weekend! We have finally arrived at the doorsteps of the 2019 NFL Draft! We will finally get all of our questions answered and see who will become the newest members of the San Francisco 49ers. Currently the 49ers own the second overall pick. Who will they select at number two? Will they trade down? Will they trade down more than once? The possibilities are endless, and of course…anything and everything is fair game once the Arizona Cardinals are on the clock.Way back when I started coverage for the 2019 NFL Draft the first prospect I discussed was Ed Oliver. I thought it would only be fitting if Oliver was the last scouting report I produced before the clock started ticking later this evening. Ed Oliver is a monster and if there wasn’t someone named Quinnen Williams in this draft class, Oliver might be a top 3 lock…Who knows, he still might. Now, what if the 49ers trade down a few spots and have their sights set on Oliver? Let’s take a closer look and see how Oliver can be a great fit along the 49ers defensive line.Combine Results:40 Time: 4.73 (Pro Day)Bench Press: 32 RepsVertical Jump: 36.0”Broad Jumps: 120.0”Short Shuttle: 4.22 (Pro Day)3 Cone Drill: 7.15 (Pro Day)Measurables: Height: 6”2”Weight: 287 lbs.Hands: 9 1/4”Arms: 31 ¾”Summary:Ed Oliver was an absolute force on the Cougars defensive line in 2018. No other lineman dealt with more double team and even triple team coverages than Oliver. Oliver does an incredible job winning the first contact. Oliver is explosive when making contact with blockers. Will fight and play through gaps at an elite level. Oliver has a high motor and is explosive off the ball. Has exceptional flexibility and is constantly creating disruption and chaos in the opponent’s backfield. Is able to follow through tight angles, while twisting his body and adjust his frame when rushing the passer. Many times, Oliver was fighting through initial contact with ease against blockers along the line of scrimmage. Breaks up plays well with his hands, throwing up his arms in passing lanes. Oliver has a natural blend of speed and power up the middle. Because of all the attention he requires, Oliver creates positive opportunities for his teammates along the line. I expect this will continue for Oliver when he settles at the pro level. Oliver has a bright future in the NFL and I’ll be shocked if he slips outside the top ten.Is Ed Oliver a fit for the San Francisco 49ers?John Glaser-USA TODAY SportsWithout a doubt Oliver is a fit for the 49ers. Oliver has all the tools and traits you can ask for from an interior defensive lineman. His explosive playmaking and quickness off the line are rare and jaw-dropping to watch. Yes, his sack level dropped this past season, but I suppose we can credit the double and triple coverage teams put on Oliver all season long. Even with all that extra coverage, Oliver still recorded 53 tackles for a loss in just three seasons. As I mentioned last week with Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver would form a dynamic two-headed monster with DeForest Buckner within the interior of the defensive line. In other words, they will cause many fits and headaches for offensive linemen and keep them on their toes. The more I study and watch Oliver the more he reminds me of Aaron Donald. Oliver is a week one, three-down starter at the next level. If the 49ers trade down a few spots keep a close eye on Ed Oliver as the potential pick for the team. What the team will get is a day one playmaker along the defensive line along with additional draft capital via the trade down. It very well could be the win-win scenario that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have up their sleeves.What are YOUR thoughts on Ed Oliver?

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsI’ve seen some 49er fans that are upset with the haul that the team has gotten so far in free agency. If I told you before free agency started you would still have all your draft picks this year, and end up with a pass rusher coming off of a historical season in regards to getting after the quarterback. Add a speedy linebacker that creates chaos. Create competition at running back, wide receiver, and defensive back, all while having still having over $41 million in cap space? Come on. You’re just getting greedy now. To be able to sign/re-sign 15 players and still have the fourth most cap space in the NFL is a luxury. It gives the team freedom to poke around and maybe entertain trade offers they normally couldn’t with that sort of space.It’s the second week of free agency, and most of the “big” names have signed. There is still plenty of talent available. Some of the best value in free agency hasn’t happened yet. With that said, here are two players the Niners should target and two players the team should steer clear of.OG Quinton SpainThis would not only be a depth signing, but it would also be some much needed insurance. The best way to describe the play of Laken Tomlinson and Mike Person’s play last year would be “fine”. Both players will be making under $3 million in 2019. The continuity surrounding the offensive line is the best argument for trotting both players out again in 2019. Can you likely find better players? Sure. Knowing the tendencies of the guy you’re playing next to matters.That brings us to Spain, who was actually benched during a game late in the season. Spain allowed one sack and 16 total pressures for the Titans last year. For reference, Person allowed only one sack as well, but did allow 34 total pressures. While Tomlinson allowed four sacks and 31 pressures. The 27-year old Spain would likely come in on a cheap deal. He’s a big strong guy that could push for starter snaps at best. At worst, you have a quality backup guard in the event of injury. A low-risk, high reward signing that likely only makes the guys in front of you step their game up. Competition tends to do that.FS Tre BostonBoston is a guy that is the true free safety that most 49er fans covet. There are some things that Boston does very well. He’s aggressive. He can cover. He has better ball skills than Jimmie Ward, but that’s not the most ringing endorsement. Speaking of Ward, Boston’s tackling ability would be enough pass.Boston had 15 “stops”, or tackles that constitute as a loss for the offense, last year. He missed 12 tackles. Boston is not a good tackler. There’s no other way to slice it. You want him now Ahkello Witherspoon Color Rush Jersey , but he will drive you insane if he’s on your roster. Count on him making a play that will benefit the offense because of his tackling once a game. It can be that bad. If the Niners are going to evolve, Boston is a player to avoid. He can play the deep safety and is serviceable, but he’s not a guy that will be better than whoever safety you take in the second round. Because Boston is limited, the 49ers would be wise to pass.SS Eric BerryStaying at the safety position, Berry just hasn’t been reliable. It looks like he is headed to Dallas, but he’s a name that has been popular among fans. You can count on one hand how many games Berry has played in the last couple years. The team has already taken their fair share of risks in free agency. To double-down on a player that hasn’t suited up much lately at safety just isn’t how you build a team. Judging by his play last year, Berry just doesn’t seem like he can move anymore. The team sitting idle, besides bringing back Ward, was the right play, considering the strength of the draft.Edge Justin HoustonI tried hard to get a different name here. But Houston is just so dang good. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, it’s not even about money:The only thing that seems plausible for Houston being available his Houston himself saying there’s no rush. Houston could tag along with his former teammate Dee Ford, and mentor Nick Bosa. My selling point if I’m John Lynch to Houston is that he will only rush the passer, if that’s all he’s interested in. Because if you isolate him just rushing the passer last year, Houston was a monster in 2018. PFF tracks “pass rushing productivity”, which measures pressure created on a per snap basis with weighting toward sacks. Ford’s “PRP” was sixth, at8.9%. Houston was three spots behind him at 8.6%. The signing, the fit, the culture that you’re trying to create. Houston just makes so much sense.
