I'll never think Bowers was the right pick, but I'm coming around on the theory behind taking him. We'll see if Getsy has enough creativity to deploy him the way Shanahan would. They're talking about splitting him out wide, lining him up at FB, etc.
If he is a top 5 TE for the next 5 years then it was a great pick.

Not if Meyer is also a top 10 TE and Fuaga is a top 5-10 tackle. There's just not enough marginal value in upgrading on a good young TE compared to signing a great rookie tackle when you don't have one yet.

49ers got another OL. Only one pick left and no DL. Very surprising.
