The San Francisco 49ers select TE Nate Byham in the 6th round
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.
