2017 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers Selections for Each Round
By Peter Felsch
Round 6, Pick No. 188 – Miami WR Stacey Coley
Another receiver falls to the Niners here in Round 6, and they go for quickness and route-running ability here in Miami’s Stacey Coley. If they don’t re-sign Jeremy Kerley, Coley fits the bill to be that fast-twitch slot receiver who can elude defenders in open space.
This season, Coley had 63 receptions for 754 yards with nine scores, per ESPN. What the Niners get here with Coley in Round 6 is a playmaker capable of helping in the return game as well.
Round 6, Pick No. 206 – South Carolina OLB Darius English
A ferocious pass-rusher, South Carolina EDGE Darius English has an array of moves to get to the quarterback.
Standing at 6-foot-6, he has the length to move defenders out of his way and has decent speed, clocking in at a projected 4.7 40-yard dash, according to Walter Football.
He fits in as a situational pass-rusher and can compete with the likes of Eli Harold on the depth chart.
English can be a difference maker on the defense, having forced two fumbles in 2016 for the Gamecocks.
