We luckily have video of each draft thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49. We’ll be looking at every year up to 2018. Today it’s 2016.With 11 picks on their hands and the disaster that was Jim Tomsula washed off, the 49ers had a chance at rebuilding. No longer in a “re-load” mode as Trent Baalke so elegantly put it a year prior, the 49ers needed to make some splashes and get back to having a competitive team. Spoiler: They didn’t. The first pick was predicted and also quite worked out quite well: DeForest Buckner out of Oregon. Buckner quickly made a name for himself in 2016 and was on an island in 2017. The only problem was Buckner was double and triple teamed due to being the only threat on the defensive line. Regardless, Buckner should be in line for a huge payday quite soon.The Buckner pick was too obvious and gift-wrapped to screw up, even for the 49ers front office. It’s after Buckner where Trent Baalke realized he was Trent Baalke.Going back into the first round with a trade, the 49ers took Joshua Garnett. a decent, but huge reach for a guard. The 49ers quickly became head-scratchers. Garnett remains with the team, but given the extensions to other guards and how the line solidified in 2018 without him, he may be on his way out.Things didn’t improve, pick three went to Will Redmond, a very good cornerback prospect except for an obvious problem: He had a knee injury, BUT Baalke said he would be ready by training camp. Redmond was placed on IR in early September that year.The latest member of the ACL All-Stars, Redmond was released a season later.The next pick was one of the most incriminating for the 49ers front office, cornerback Rashard Robinson. A decent prospect with just one problem: was kicked off the LSU Tigers for breaking and entering. Robinson had his shot as a starting cornerback the following year, but wound up getting traded to the New York Jets. The pick itself wouldn’t have been so frustrating if it wasn’t for the fact quarterback Dak Prescott was available for the taking and would go to the Dallas Cowboys two picks later. As time has gone on Jimmie Ward Jersey , Prescott hasn’t been the greatest either. The 49ers coaching staff liked Prescott, Trent Baalke didn’t seem to care.The rest? Defensive end Ronald Blair was a decent pick and has provided some solid depth. Blair could also take over starting for a game or two and hold the fort. Aaron Burbridge was released in 2018, ending his experiment. Quarterback Jeff Driskel was thought of as a nice prospect, but was waived and snapped up by the Cincinatti Bengals before he could hit the practice squad. Who was Driskel waived in favor of for the third-string quarterback? Christian Ponder. Buckner has been the only sure-starter the 49ers have uncovered so far in this league.

The handcuffed activists were loaded onto a waiting bus. Metro Transit spokesman Howie Padilla said all 17 were cited for unlawful interference with transit and released.No injuries were reported.Metro Transit used buses to ferry passengers around the blockage, and Padilla said the agency was confident spectators would reach the game before kickoff. The shutdown started about 2:15 p.m. https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Aaron-Burbridge-Jersey , and the stop was finally cleared about two hours later.Padilla said Metro Transit respects people’s right to free speech and demonstration.Chinyere Tutashinda, a spokeswoman for the activists, said they were protesting police brutality, as well as the light-rail lines being set aside solely for Super Bowl ticketholders on Sunday. Non-ticketholders had to use buses to get around the metro area instead.The Green and Blue lines were a major route for many fans to get to Sunday’s game, with security screening done before passengers boarded.The light-rail shutdown came as Black Lives Matter and several other groups staged rallies to protest police brutality and corporate greed.About 300 people gathered at a park as temperatures hovered around 2 above zero with wind chills in the subzero teens and marched peacefully a couple miles to the stadium, where most of them took a knee outside a security gate in imitation of Colin Kaepernick. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback started a movement when he began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racial inequality and police brutality.”We kneel, we stand, we fight,” they chanted. ”If we don’t get no justice, you don’t get no peace.”Squad cars cleared the streets ahead of the procession as part of an operation that included top officials in the Minneapolis Police Department including Chief Medaria Arradondo, the city’s first black police chief, who took over last year amid the political fallout over a pair of fatal police shootings in the city.”As chief I’m certainly aware that there are concerns that our community has had for a long time, and will still have after the Super Bowl leaves town in a few hours,” Arradondo said in an interview just before the march.
