The San Francisco 49ers appear to have hit gold on their 2017 seventh round pick, with Adrian Colbert claiming the starting free safety job. Now, the team might have some diamonds in the rough with their seventh round picks from the 2018 NFL Draft.
On Tuesday, defensive lineman Jullian Taylor got first team reps at the strong side defensive end role. Arik Armstead is the starter at that position, but he suffered a hamstring strain that has him listed as week-to-week. Taylor got the spot over Ronald Blair and the rest of the defensive line, but it sounds like he was working towards an opportunity before the injury.
