The Facts: With the 55th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the 49ers select Rice's McDonald.

Diehards Line: Delanie Walker's free-agency defection to Tennessee created a need for a No. 2 TE to work behind Vernon Davis. McDonald is it. ... According to his NFL.com scouting report, despite being built like an inline tight end, the majority of McDonald's experience is in the slot. This certainly helps his comfort blocking on the edge and as a receiver who picks up yards after the catch. In fact, McDonald is still learning how to use his frame effectively. He will help create mismatches in an offense with a need for downfield playmakers.
