The 49ers own the No. 10 overall pick in the April draft. Their picks in each round will rotate from Nos. 10 to 11 through the seven rounds. (They’ll pick 10th in the odd-numbered rounds, and 11th in the even-numbered rounds.) In addition, they’re expecting two compensatory picks.
So whom do the 49ers select with the 10th selection? My answer: The best player available.
