The 49ers have picked FB/TE Jameson Konz with the 245th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  He is a tad small for a TE at 6’3″, 222 pounds but he’s lightning fast running a 4.42 40.  Konz played D his first two years at Kent State so he is a little raw offensively.  He played in only 13 games on offense the last two years in which he caught 23 passes for 310 yards (13.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Konz could also be used as a third down back and on special teams so he probably will have a decent shot to make the team.

The 49ers have picked OLB Dexter Davis with the 236th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Davis is 6’1″, 244 pounds and he runs a 4.63 40.  He was a college defensive end who the Niners are going to try to move to DE.  He played in 12 games for Arizona State last season and he had 23 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 batted down passes, 2 forced fumbles and 1 interception.  Davis played in 50 games in his four years with the Sun Devils in which he had 136 tackles, 45 tackles for a loss, 31 sacks, 5 batted down 5 passes, forced 10 fumbles and he had 1 interception.  If nothing else Davis can help out the special teams in 2010 for the Niners.

The 49ers have picked CB Phillip Adams out of South Carolina State with the 224th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Adams had 48 tackles, 3 interceptions (2 returned for a TD), 5 tackles for a loss and he broke up 11 passes.  Adams returned 17 punts for 256 yards (15.1 avg) with 2 TDs and he also returned 4 kickoffs for 61 yards (15.3 avg) in his time at South Carolina St.  Not many experts thought he would get drafted so maybe the 49ers know something that they don’t.

The 49ers have selected WR/PR Kyle Williams with the 206th overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Williams is a tad small at 5’9″, 185 pounds but he is lightning quick running a 4.42 40.  Williams played in 11 games for the Arizona State Sun Devils last season in which he caught 57 passes for 815 yards (14.3 avg) with 8 TD grabs and he also carried the ball 5 times for 73 yards (14.6 ypc).  Williams also returned 23 punts for 229 yards (10.0 avg) last season.  Williams played in 41 games for the Sun Devils and he caught 109 passes for 1,626 yards (14.9 avg) with 18 TD grabs and he also carried the ball 11 times for 115 yards (10.5 ypc).  He also returned 74 punts for 768 yards (10.4 avg) at Arizona State and he returned 33 kickoffs for 709 yards (21.5 avg).  Williams will have a good shot of winning the punt return job for the Niners as a rookie.

The 49ers have picked TE Nate Byham with the 182nd overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Byham is a huge TE at 6’3″, 262 pounds and he runs a 4.8 40.  Byham is more of a blocker than a receiver even in the passing game.  He played in 13 games (12 starts) at Pitt last season and he caught 10 passes for 108 yards (10.8 avg) without a TD grab.  In his four years at Pitt, Byham played in 46 games (36 starts) in which he caught 47 passes for 612 yards (13.0 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  With Mike Singletary wanting to run the ball more in 2010, Byham will likely get a lot of P.T. as a rookie.

The 49ers have picked RB Anthony Dixon with the 173rd overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Dixon is a big back at 6’0″, 240 pounds and he’s fast enough running a 4.6 40.  Dixon plays to his size as he is a power back who always seems to fall forward for a extra yard.  He is also a good pass blocker when he stays in the backfield to give the QB more time.  Dixon played in 11 games (all starts) for Mississippi State last season and he carried the ball 257 times for 1,391 yards (5.4 ypc) with 12 TD runs.  He also caught 18 passes for 123 yards (6.8 avg) last season.  In his four years at Mississippi State, Dixon played in 48 games (40 starts) in which he carried the ball 910 times for 4,014 yards (4.4 ypc) with 42 TD runs.  Dixon also caught 56 passes for 449 yards (8.0 avg) with 4 TD grabs in college.  Dixon will push Glen Coffee for the right to be Frank Gore’s backup in training camp and I think he will win the job.  This was a outstanding pick for the Niners.
