The 49ers ended up with three sixth-round picks back in 2016, although this particular selection was the last one used to grab Joshua Garnett.

It wouldn’t be a Trent Baalke draft class without a cornerback taken, but this redraft pushes the emphasis down a bit.

Former Purdue cornerback Anthony Brown hasn’t exactly had the best of years with the Dallas Cowboys this season. But his rookie year seemed promising enough after being selected at No. 189 overall.

If anything, San Francisco could have benefited from some additional corner depth to back up players like Dontae Johnson, Jimmie Ward and then-Niners corner Tramaine Brock.
