With their third available pick in the draft, the one picked up in the deal with Houston, the SF 49ers select Eric Stokes, cornerback out of Georgia.

Now I will admit, this is probably a little bit of a stretch, as Stokes has the name recognition to potentially go much higher in the draft with an impressive NFL Scouting Combine (which will be different this offseason anyway).

But Stokes also has the potential to fall and become a draft-day steal, too.

With Stokes and Shaun Wade, the Niners would have a good set of young corners to anchor their secondary unit for years to come.
