With Pick 142, the San Francisco 49ers drafted Appalachian State defensive end Ronald Blair.
Blair (6’2″, 285 lbs) is best suited to play defensive end in a 4-3 defense, but the 49ers will attempt to play him at defensive end in their 3-4 defense. Blair was an exceptional run-defender in college, but he played at a small school and is about 15 pounds lighter than he needs to be to play 3-4 defensive end. He will be a project until he bulks up.
GRADE: B.
With Pick 145, the 49ers drafted Georgia offensive tackle John Theus.
