2017 NFL Mock Draft: 49ers Selections for Each Round
By Peter Felsch
Round 7 – North Carolina St. G Tony Adams
Although NC State offensive lineman Tony Adams is a bit undersized for guard (6-foot-2, 300pounds), he played well for the Wolfpack this year in the run game. The Niners were forced to shuffle their O-line all year long as it suffered the injury bug.
With the departure of Mike Iupati via free agency in 2015, the guard position was tentatively filled by rookie Joshua Garnett. They could use the depth, and Adams can fill in both at center and guard.
Round 7 – Florida St. CB Marquez White
FSU cornerback Marquez White has natural instincts as a corner and excels in zone coverage.
He could use to add some bulk to his slight frame but has length at 6-foot-1.
The Niners have a decent group of young corners already, but none are consistently performing at a high level week in and week out. It would be wise for the new San Francisco GM to pick up another player for the secondary and groom him for the new defense.
