49ers draft picks: Team selects Georgia OT John Theus

The San Francisco 49ers quickly got their second pick of the 5th round submitted. After four of the last five picks went defense, the team added another offensive lineman. The 49ers picked Georgia offensive tackle John Theus at No. 145.

The 49ers offensive line was a mess in 2015, so it is no surprise to see the team add more depth. They traded up into the first round to select Stanford guard Joshua Garnett. The addition of an offensive tackle means more competition for Trenton Brown on the right side. Anthony Davis had said he would return, but now seems to be pissed at the franchise, so I think most are operating under the assumption that he will not be back.
