Reactions are mixed for now.PDTShareTweetShareShareHow do you grade the 49ers 2019 draft class?The 2019 NFL Draft is a wrap and the San Francisco 49ers are working their way through undrafted free agency. If history indicates anything, the 49ers should find an undrafted free agent or two that they can put on the roster, but for now, the focus is on what the 49ers came away with after three days of drafting.Here are links to all nine of the picks, each of which includes a poll asking for an A-through-F grade. The early picks were well received but by about the time the 49ers drafted their second wide receiver in a row, some were scratching their heads on what the team was doing. There seems to be a purpose for all these picks, but right now we’re still looking for what that purpose is. 1. First round: No. 2 overall Nick Bosa, Defensive end, Ohio State2. Second round: (36 overall)Deebo Samuel, Wide receiver, South Carolina3. Third round: (67 overall)Jalen Hurd, Wide receiver http://www.49ersfanshop.com/Nick-Bosa-Jersey , Baylor4.

Sixth round: (183 overall) Justin Skule, OT, Vanderbilt8. Sixth round: (198 overall) Tim Harris, CB, Virginia With the full class officially settled, how do you grade the 49ers full class? I’ve expanded out the grading a bit so people can consider a little more nuance to their thought process. If you can’t see the poll, click here. Breaking down the 90 players on the 49ers offseason roster in 90 posts (over 90 or so days). Today is DT Sheldon Day"The “1-technique” is a dying breed in the NFL. That’s why it was such a surprise to see the New York Giants select one in the first round. Last year for the San Francisco 49ers Sheldon Day played 25% of the snaps. Teams are going to take the “heavy” defensive tackle out for a quicker pass-rusher. That’s where the game has gone. The 49ers have a few different names to play the 1-technique position this year. Day will be leading the charge.The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Day in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He saw 203 defensive snaps, and 146 special teams snaps his rookie season. In six games before he was waived, Day had 125 defensive snaps and 41 special teams snaps. He was released to make room for the returning Dede Westbrook. In 22 games with the Jaguars, he had 11 tackles and 2.0 sacks. Robert Saleh was the Jags linebacker coach from 2014-2016 Nick Bosa Color Rush Jersey , so the familiarity was there. It made sense to claim Day. Basic infoAge: 24 (25 on July 1)Experience: 3 accrued seasonsHeight: 6’1Weight: 294 poundsCap StatusDay is entering the final year of his rookie contract. His base salary for 2019 is $720,000. Since Jacksonville released him, his prorated signing bonus money rolled up on their salary cap. If the 49ers release him, they will clear all that space.Why he might improve in 2019The best offenses throw on early downs. Day isn’t known as a pass-rusher, but he had a few games last year where he flashed the potential to get after the quarterback. Day isn’t going to put up gaudy numbers based on the snaps that he played. If Day has four sacks instead of two, it’ll be a great year for him. If he can go from flashing in five games instead of three games, that’s a significant improvement for him.Why he might regressIt will have to take a breakout season from the likes of D.J. Jones, Cedric Thornton, or whatever other names the 49ers shuffle in at defensive tackle for Day to regress. Meaning, he’ll have to lose out on snaps. In theory, surrounding Day with better players will take Day’s game to the next level. Statistically, you’d like to see Day finish with more than 5 “stops” if he’s in there for run defense. While I understand he’s facing a double team, that’s not happening on every play. If Day isn’t winning more of his 1-on-1 battles, that counts as a regression.
