player. 42. . Running Back. San Francisco 49ers. D'Andre Swift. 31

The San Francisco 49ers have been the class of the NFC through the first seven weeks of the 2019 NFL season, and they do not look to be stopping anytime soon. On defense, this is one of the more elite units in all of football, and if Jimmy Garoppolo continues to develop at quarterback, they could be good for a very long time.

When it comes time for them to draft late in round one next April, the 49ers should look to add the most dynamic running back in this draft class. Sure, they could go the Jonathan Taylor way, as he could be slated for the first round as well, but D’Andre Swift is a player who fits their offense perfectly.

Swift is a threat when he is running the ball, but also in the passing game, and would be a strong option for the 49ers, especially on third down. San Francisco is building this roster up the right way, and with general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan attached at the hip, they have the right leadership in place for the long haul.

player. 47. . Defensive Lineman. New England Patriots. Raekwon Davis. 32

On Monday night, I sat inside Metlife Stadium and saw Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the rest of the New England Patriots absolutely embarrass the New York Jets. Winning 33-0, the Patriots were dominant on both sides of the ball, and it does not look like Brady will be slowing down any time soon.

When it comes time for them to draft in 2020, it will likely be at the bottom of the first round, and they should look to grab the best player available. The Patriots have one of the better defenses we have seen in a long time in 2019, but that does not mean that they would pass on a player like Raekwon Davis from Alabama with the final pick in round one.

Davis is one of the better hybrid defensive linemen in this draft class, as he will be able to play on the edge, or in the middle at the next level. Belichick is calling the plays for this defense now, and with how good the team has looked getting out to a 7-0 start, a seventh Super Bowl could be in the cards  this February.
