Take note, 49ers fans.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The San Francisco 49ers do not look like they need a cornerback on paper,\u00a0but the team did add both Jack Jones\u00a0and Nate Hobbs, so it is clear that Raheem Morris wants to change some things up in the secondary.<\/p>\n

Round 1: Chris Johnson, San Diego State<\/h2>\n

Johnson is probably the most likely to be on the board at pick 27, as well as be the cleanest cornerback at that time. If Jermod McCoy fell to pick 27, it would be because of bad injury news during his ACL recovery, and San Francisco should avoid that. If Johnson falls, it is minor issues in his game, such as a small school, and a narrow frame. Overall, he would not be a bad pick here.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Round 2: Malik Muhammad, Texas<\/h2>\n

The 49ers have reportedly\u00a0shown interest in Muhammad\u00a0and if they did select him, it would have to be with the 58th overall pick. Muhammad is a little thin, but has long arms and could hold up on the outside in the right scheme. He is highly athletic and presents a strong ceiling.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Round 4, Pick 127: Devin Moore, Florida<\/h2>\n

Speaking of ceiling, that is what you are betting on with Devin Moore. Moore is 6\u20193\u201d and 198 pounds. He ran a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash, which is fast enough for how long he is. He was up and down in his SEC play, but his physical tools are going to make any coach happy in round 4.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Round 4, Pick 133: Julian Neal, Arkansas<\/h2>\n

Neal brings a very similar profile to Moore. He is 6\u20192\u201d and 203 pounds with even longer arms than Moore. Both of them are projects at this point, but that is what you are swinging for in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

Round 4, Pick 138: Ephesians Prysock, Washington<\/h2>\n

Prysock is the last of the bets on high upside options. He comes in a 6\u20193\u201d and 196 pounds with arms that are about as long as Neal. He is a bit less refined than the other two, but brings just as much upside.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Round 4, Pick 139: Will Lee, Texas A&M<\/h2>\n

Dane Brugler mocked Will Lee\u00a0to the 49ers, so you are going to want to take note of his potential fit. Lee has solid size and is an instinctual football player, but he can get beaten up on the line of scrimmage at times, so he will need to put on muscle. In round 4, they can build him up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
