Most thought those would be the first two picks. Most did not believe the team would select the 85th player on the consensus board at No. 33 overall.

Shanahan envisions Stribling stepping into the Jauan Jennings role: I think everyone knows how good of a blocker Jauan is and how big he’s been for us in that way. So, we have a hole without that. So, this guy definitely could fill that.

For me, I don’t ever start watching receivers block; it all has to do with the football. And I really fell in love with him with the ball as a route runner, how fast he is, how big he is, how good his hands are, and how physical he played with the ball. When you watch a guy with that size and how physical he runs with the ball, you assume he is a good blocker.
