The 49ers get extra points for value for this pick. Not very often to you pick a player who is top three at his position in the third round. Bowman saw limited as a a rookie in 2010, but when he was awarded the starting role in 2011, everyone instantly knew that he would be a star. With Patrick Willis mentoring him, Bowman quickly rose to the top of the list of inside linebackers. Bowman has earned All-Pro honors all three years that he has started. Bowman is only 25 years old, and if he keeps up his level of play, they’ll find a spot for him in Canton, Ohio.
