Coach Jim Harbaugh‘s quest to rebuild the San Francisco 49ers in his image got a boost Friday with the announcement of compensatory picks for April’s NFL draft.

A quick look at some notable nuggets from around the league, including why the injury to Rams OT Jason Smith is more serious than originally thought.

It’s not much of a surprise that Mike Singletary isn’t handing out starting spots on the offensive line to his two first-round picks from last month’s draft, Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati.

The fantasy appeal of Alex Smith and Frank Gore has improved as a result of their team’s first-round picks.

The Chiefs would like to move down in the draft to acquire more picks, according to NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi.

This is a defensive draft, especially early on. So out of the 32 picks in the first round, I think you’re only going to see between 12-14 offensive players taken, which means you’re going to get 18-20 defensive players picked.

Rutgers OT Anthony Davis, a projected first-round draft pick who didn’t work out at his school’s pro day last month, held a private workout for 11 NFL teams Tuesday.

Rutgers OT Anthony Davis, who is projected to go in the top 10 by NFL.com’s Pat Kirwan and Bucky Brooks, will perform in a private workout on Tuesday, March 30 at the practice bubble on campus.

Anthony Davis, a top left tackle prospect out of Rutgers, did not finish participating in the team’s pro day, and will work out again for NFL scouts on March 30, according to his agent, Sunny Shah.

It’s beginning to look a lot like the NFL Scouting Combine. Welcome, everyone, to Day 4.

OT Anthony Davis said Thursday at the combine that teams won’t see the 366-pounder who first came to Rutgers three seasons ago.
