Answer: The 49ers gave up a valuable third-round pick for Odighizuwa, who is about as pure a 4-3 DT as you can get. No, they’re not going to a 3-4 — I think the most drastic visible change might be more use of a five-man front, which means the 49ers still need an athletic, hybrid DE/LB to use as that fifth D-lineman in those situations. Question: Will the 49ers do the obvious thing and draft a WR and DE (in whatever order) with their first- and second-round picks?

Answer: Yes. The main way the 49ers could’ve changed course here is if they felt they needed to grab one of the top DTs. Well, no need for that now.

They need a speed WR and another impact DE (especially after Bryce Huff’s surprise retirement Thursday). I’ll be very surprised if the 49ers use their top two picks on any other positions. ” 5 things to know about new 49ers CB Nate Hobbs “The fact that I’m able to sit in front of a plethora of people and tell them about my emotions, that gives me strength,” Hobbs said, per Raiders.
