49ers draft SEC offensive tackles: John Theus, Fahn Cooper

Offensive tackle was arguably the 49ers greatest position of need entering the draft, and they finally addressed that in the fifth round with Southeastern Conference products John Theus of Georgia and Fahn Cooper of Mississippi.

“The goal for me personally is to win a starting spot,” Theus said Saturday on a media conference call. “So that right tackle position, I know there’s a guy there. But I know I can go there and compete, which is going to make both of us better and the best man will win.”

Who is the “guy” he and Cooper will compete against?
