In a surprising move, the San Francisco 49ers opted for Mississippi defensive tackle Walter Nolen instead of Michigan's Mason Graham, who was widely regarded as a 'can't miss' prospect. ESPN insider Peter Schrager's mock draft caught many off guard, with Nolen being recognized as a potential top-15 pick due to his impressive pre-draft performance. While Nolen is considered a solid athlete with the potential to excel, the 49ers may have passed on a more impactful player in Graham, who is touted for his game-changing capabilities. This decision raises questions about the 49ers' strategy and their need for a dominant presence on the defensive line.
