Draft bios for 49ers’ late-round selections
49ers picks at a glance
Rashard Robinson
Selected: 133rd overall (35th pick, fourth round)
College: LSU
Position: Cornerback
Height, weight: 6-foot-1, 171 pounds
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He doesn’t have a lot of experience – just eight starts at LSU – but Robinson played well against some very good SEC wide receivers when he was on the field in 2014.”
Ronald Blair
Selected: 142nd (third, fifth round)
College: Appalachian State
Position: Defensive line
Height, weight: 6-2, 284
Comment: Barrows writes, “A very quick defensive lineman for his size, Blair may be the most intriguing of all the 49ers’ picks. He could be a situational pass rusher as a rookie.”
John Theus
Selected: 145th (sixth, fifth round)
College: Georgia
Position: Offensive line
Height, weight: 6-6, 303
Comment: Barrows writes, “He has experience playing both tackle positions in the ultra-competitive SEC. He could challenge Trent Brown for a starting role at right tackle or be the 49ers’ swing tackle.”
Fahn Cooper
Selected: 174th (37th, fifth round)
College: Mississippi
Position: Offensive line
Height, weight: 6-4, 303
Comment: Barrows writes, “Like Theus, Cooper has played on the left side but is much better suited for right tackle. He offers more competition to Brown.”
Jeff Driskel
Selected: 207th (32nd, sixth round)
College: LSU
Position: Quarterback
Height, weight: 6-4, 231
Comment: Barrows writes, “He has good size and underrated athleticism. He seems like he would mesh nicely in Chip Kelly’s fast-paced offense.”
Kelvin Taylor
Selected: 211th (36th, sixth round)
College: Florida
Position: Running back
Height, weight: 5-10, 205
Comment: Barrows writes, “He doesn’t have the size or speed of his father, Fred Taylor, but Kelvin was productive when he was the featured runner at Florida. He adds to a deep but undistinguished mix of players behind Carlos Hyde.”
Aaron Burbridge
Selected: 213th (38th, sixth round)
College: Michigan State
Position: Wide receiver
Height, weight: 6-1, 208
Comment: Barrows writes, “He has neither good size or impressive athleticism. But Burbridge was very productive in the Big Ten and is a fierce competitor. He could be a good slot receiver.”
Charles Iworah
Selected: 249th (28th, seventh round)
College: Western Kentucky
Position: Cornerback
Height, weight: 5-11, 193
Comment: Barrows writes, “He’s a very fast cornerback who played at a small school. The 49ers have few standout cornerbacks, but there are suddenly a lot of bodies at the position.”
