NFL Draft: 3 Bust Picks for SF 49ers

On April 4th, the San Francisco 49ers sit at the 27th spot in the NFL draft, and while

they've got options, three picks stand out as, total bust that could set the team back.

First up, grabbing Clemson defensive lineman Peter Woods feels like overkill now that they've

added Osa Odiezua for depth.

Woods had a down junior year, bombed at the combine with short arms and weak athletic

tests, and the spot just ain't a pressing need.

Their recent signing changes everything for the D-line, making Woods a reach that fans

would roast on mine.

Teams don't burn a first rounder on bench warmers, especially when the trenches already

look stacked, but predictable.

Next, Utah left tackle Caleb Lomu's screams, project player who might never pan out.

He lacks the strength for run blocking and those unteachable traits like power, so he'd

sit a year or flop as the future blindside protector.

Better bets like Alabama's Cating Proctor offer day one juice at tackle or guard without

the gamble.

Meanwhile, Auburn Edge rusher Keldrick Falk mirrors what they've got in Mikel Williams,

big, powerful against the run, but zero pass rush flash.

Stacking clones kills variety, defenses would skeen them out easy.

Instead of these redundant risks, the Niners got to hunt speed rushers or instant impact

lineman to keep opponents guessing and build that championship.
