49ers Trent Baalke said Tank Carradine will play along defensive line; Corey Lemonier will play OLB.

Matt Barrows:
Trent Baalke made it clear that Carradine will play with his hand on the ground. Think he can get to the 290-lb range like Ray McDonald.
Remaining Needs:
1. Punt Returner?
2. ILB depth
3. Swing Tackle
4. QB depth?
5. NT?

I tallied eight more picks though based on my count... so we're running low
I would love that!
Is it just me or does Lemonier remind anyone else of Lamar Woodley?
I'd like us to draft Lattimore and then don't play him much in the preseason so no teams will have much tape on him, and then stash him for a year on the practice squad and let him build up strength and confidence in his knee.
Ditto for Lawrence Okoye. Draft him with a 7th, stash him on the practice squad for a year and let him learn the game and try to earn a roster spot.
I've seen mocks with the 49ers taking Reid, Tank, and Lemonier at 31 and they got them all! Pretty happy with the draft to this point! McDonald is my least favorite pick, but he could easily grow on me.
