2019 NFL Draft: 5 49ers prospects from the East-West Shrine Game
4. Blace Brown, Cornerback, Troy
The San Francisco 49ers could always use more help in the secondary, and cornerback Blace Brown had an impressive week which potentially thrust him into mid-round candidacy.
Brown ticks all the boxes of a cornerback that Richard Sherman could mold in his own image.
Brown is a physical corner who would be a coverage cornerback at the professional level.
Although he doesn’t have the greatest size, Brown plays very hands-on and has the speed to match up with receivers if he needs to race with them.
Brown had his way with the wide receivers at the East-West Shrine Game, and he should be considered a potential mid-round addition to the Niners’ secondary as a result.
