Draft bios: 49ers add 8 on last day of NFL draft
Rashard Robinson at a glance
Selected: 133rd (35th, fourth round)
College: LSU
Position: Cornerback
Height, weight: 6-foot-1, 171 pounds
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He doesn't have a lot of experience – just eight starts at LSU – but Robinson played well against some very good SEC wide receivers when he was on the field in 2014.”
Ronald Blair at a glance
Selected: 142nd (third, fifth round)
College: Appalachian State
Position: Defensive line
Height, weight: 6-2, 284
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “A very quick defensive lineman for his size, Blair may be the most intriguing of all the 49ers' picks. He could be a situational pass rusher as a rookie.”
John Theus at a glance
Selected: 145th (sixth, fifth round)
College: Georgia
Position: Offensive line
Height, weight: 6-6, 303
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He has experience playing both tackle positions in the ultra-competitive SEC. He could challenge Trent Brown for a starting role at right tackle or be the 49ers' swing tackle.”
Fahn Cooper at a glance
Selected: 174th (37th, fifth round)
College: Ole Miss
Position: Offensive line
Height, weight: 6-4, 303
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “Like Theus, Cooper has played on the left side but is much better suited for right tackle. He offers more competition to Brown.”
Jeff Driskel at a glance
Selected: 207th overall (32nd, sixth round)
College: Louisiana
Position: Quarterback
Height, weight: 6-4, 231
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He has good size and underrated athleticism. He seems like he would mesh nicely in Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense.”
Kelvin Taylor at a glance
Selected: 211th (36th, sixth round)
College: Florida
Position: Running back
Height, weight: 5-10, 205
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He doesn't have his father's size or speed. But Taylor was productive when he was the featured runner at Florida. He adds to a deep but undistinguished mix of players behind Carlos Hyde.”
Aaron Burbridge at a glance
Selected: 213th (38th, sixth round)
College: Michigan State
Position: Wide receiver
Height, weight: 6-1, 208
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He has neither good size or impressive athleticism. But Burbridge was very productive in the Big 10 and is a fierce competitor. He could be a good slot receiver.”
Charles Iworah at a glance
Selected: 249th (28th, seventh round)
College: Western Kentucky
Position: Cornerback
Height, weight: 5-11, 193
Comment: The Bee’s Matt Barrows writes, “He's a very fast cornerback who played at a small school. The 49ers have few stand-out cornerbacks, but they suddenly are a lot of bodies at the position.”
