Ninth in a series looking at potential candidates for the 49ers’ first-round selection when they draft No. 9 overall on April 26:
49ers’ draft prospect: Marcus Davenport
College: Texas-San Antonio
Position: Defensive end
Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-6, 264 pounds
Why he fits the 49ers: Davenport could be the elite pass rusher this team has lacked since Aldon Smith’s exit. He has size, power, moves and an underdog mentality that would complement a defensive front that includes top picks from the past three drafts. The 49ers helped conduct his pro-day workout, the Sacramento Bee reported.
