The 49ers selected offensive lineman (tackle) John Theus out of Georgia with the 145th pick
The five-star recruit struggled at times early in his career for the Bulldogs, though starting at right tackle as a true freshman in the SEC is quite an accomplishment. The light bulb really seemed to go on for Theus in 2014, both in pass protection and as an effective run blocker after he moved to the left side. The Bulldog finished his career by starting every game for the second straight year and being named first-team all-conference. Theus’ solid technique and underrated athleticism will make him difficult for teams to ignore early in the draft.
