Round 6: 49ers take quarterback Jeff Driskel before getting a RB and WR

SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers had three picks in the sixth round. They are:

No. 207: Jeff Driskel, quarterback, Louisiana Tech

6-4, 234

Comment: Driskel began his college at Florida and won 10 games as a sophomore. But his career stalled there and he transferred to Louisiana Tech before his senior season. Last year he had 4,033 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions and was named the Conference USA’s ‘Newcomer of the Year.’ Driskel said he ran a no-huddle, up-tempo offense at Louisiana Tech and noted that he also could make plays with his feet.
