The San Francisco 49ers continued to reinforce their defense by selecting Virginia defensive end Eli Harold in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL draft.
Harold is a bona fide pass-rushing threat. Over three seasons at Virginia, the 6'3", 247-pound end amassed 17.5 sacks and 36.5 tackles for a loss. He'll likely convert to outside linebacker at the NFL level and is perfect for a 3-4 scheme, per NFL Network's coverage of the draft.
