Tomsula: “There’s a couple times in the last three days I was kind of hoping, ‘Don’t take that guy because we could have put some depth in that spot.’ You know what I mean?”

SANTA CLARA — This is the transcript of Jim Tomsula’s post-draft press conference, courtesy of the 49ers’ public relations department.

It seems like there’s some good guys that you took.  Was that a priority for you?  Was that something that you really looked at, who these people were as people? 

“Yeah.  Can’t separate the person from the player.”

Did you talk to each of those guys beforehand?

“Yes.”

I forget who we spoke to the other day, but they said you didn’t talk X’s and O’s, it was more other things.
