The San Francisco 49ers pick FB/TE Jameson Konz in the 7th round

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General Niners Chat by admin on Thursday 13 May 2010 at 10:23 pm

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.

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General Niners Chat by admin on Thursday 13 May 2010 at 6:22 pm

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

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General Niners Chat by admin on Thursday 13 May 2010 at 5:54 pm

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.
