Report: 2 more 49ers draft picks sign rookie deals

Why didn’t the 49ers draft an offensive lineman? Their belief in Colton McKivitz (paywall)

““Very much so,” Lynch said. “We believe in Colton. The gold helmet (a draft designation that the 49ers’ scouting department gives prospects) is a hard standard up there. We give it to very few people. Colton was one of those when he came out of West Virginia. I think when he got here, we didn’t necessarily see that all the time, because he was shy. It took him a little while, but I think over time, as his confidence grew, you started to see all those traits and qualities. The spirit, as we call it, really start to show. And then, Colton’s sneaky talented as well and we like him a lot as a player.”
