Cody Wallace is rare in that he can only really play center. He is big enough at 6′4″, 290 pounds to do a solid job inside for the Niners. He is strong and smart but he’s limited athletically as he doesn’t have much speed. Wallace played in 42 games (37 starts) at Texas A & M. Wallace will be a backup as a rookie but if he gets coached up he could start at some point in the future for the Niners.
Reggie Smith is one of the best corners that came out this season in the NFL Draft so the Niners were happy to see him slide to the 3rd round. Smith is 6′0″, 200 pounds but he’s a tad slow running a 4.55 40. If he doesn’t get faster his future might lie at strong safety as he is a good run defender. He’s very physical and loves to hit. Smith played in 39 games (36 starts) at Oklahoma and he had 166 tackles, broke up 25 passes, had 8 interceptions and he recovered 3 fumbles. Smith will likely be a nickel back and special teams player this season but he looks like he might be a starter down the road for the 49ers.
