The 49ers select T Enrique Cruz Jr. at pick No. 179.
He ranked No. 279 on the consensus big board, making this a 100‑spot reach in terms of predicted value.
@jgrover1533 Being hopeful doesn’t make you a good fan. The people that are complaining have the ability to identity that there is a serious problem with this managements ability to draft and we’re complaining because we want it resolved

@NinerNick_22 Also when you compare our early picks to Philly or Seattle it doesn’t look good..
De’Zhaun Stribling, Romelo Height, kaelon Black

@LombardiHimself This years draft looks like the same ole story. The fans have the right to be upset. Until they prove us wrong, those picks were not good
@LombardiHimself I think the distrust and frustration comes from year after year the team reaching in drafts over players that are better according to every scout and analyst, and having those players they reach for being absolute busts. Rounds 1-3 have been historically horrendous for this team
