NFL Draft: 3 Bust Picks for SF 49ers

First up, grabbing Clemson defensive lineman Peter Woods feels like overkill now that they've added Osa Odiezua for depth.

He lacks the strength for run blocking and those unteachable traits like power, so he'd sit a year or flop as the future blindside protector.
