49ers go defense again in 3rd round, select Eli Harold

There appears to be a theme going on with the San Francisco 49ers- defense, defense, defense.

In the first round, the 49ers traded back to get Arik Armstead, defensive end from Oregon. In round two, they added safety Jaquiski Taratt from Samford and in the third round they added Virginia’s Eli Harold.

Harold, a 6’3 247 lbs. linebacker/defensive end, brings the 49ers another edge pass rusher to go along with Aldon Smith, Ahmad Brooks, and Aaron Lynch.

Put it this way, the 49ers are intent on putting a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks this season.
