2015 NFL Draft results: 49ers select OLB Eli Harold out of Virginia

A day after moving down in the first round, the San Francisco 49ers decided to stand pat in round two of the 2015 NFL Draft. The team used the 46th overall pick to select Virginia outside linebacker Eli Harold.

Our friends at Streaking The Lawn have a scouting report to get caught up on Harold. The 49ers have Aldon Smith, Aaron Lynch and Ahmad Brooks at OLB, but Brooks could be gone after this year, and Smith is in the final year of his contract. There are no guarantees, and some additional pass rush help is not a bad thing for a defense that is re-something (building, loading, whatever).
