Four new 49ers added after first two days of draft

The newest 49ers will be on the field a week from today. Anthony Davis will be at right tackle next week during the rookies minicamp in Santa Clara. Mike Iupati will line up at left guard.

In my feeble attempt to confirmation that I was 100-percent accurate in my rankings of the first 14 players on the 49ers’ draft board, I placed a call to a team spokesman in Santa Clara just moments ago. On the other end of line was uproarious laughter. “No, I can’t confirm that,” I was informed, followed by more uproarious laughter. And that was followed a “click” and an ear-piercing…
The options narrow as No. 13 nears
