Personally, I think the Niners need more help on the D-Line, but there are a number of holes to fill. If Joe Staley builds on his rookie year then amybe the O-line can hold up.

So the 49ers ended up passing on DeSean Jackson twice.
Rd.1 - Kentwan Balmer DE 6'5" 298 North Carolina
Rd.2 - Chilo Rachal OG 6'5" 315 Southern Cal
So they did start on the D-Line, then got another body for the O-line.
Good draft for the Niners, from a "had some needs and got players to have a chance to fill those needs" point of view. But I think it takes 3 years to fully judge a draft.
