2017 NFL Mock Draft: Three Full Rounds of Mayhem

There is way too much work for the San Francisco 49ers to do on the roster as is. It’s going to take a significant number of picks in order to correct. So moving down to collect more makes plenty of sense for them. It also keeps them well within striking distance of landing a high quality player. Quarterback would certainly be on the list but it as their defense that wilted too often under the pressure for much of 2016. Especially against the run. <p>Top linebackers are often the answer to such a problem. How fitting then that they end up picking Reuben Foster, a young inside linebacker who is drawing comparisons to a former great by the name of Patrick Willis. Indeed he exhibits many of the same qualities. Tough, strong, smart, aware and violent. Ball carriers learn to know where he is at all times because he will flatten them if they aren’t careful. One of those coveted types who does the dirty work.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster . 6. player. 42
