The 49ers’ fifth-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, Oregon cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, should probably wait until 2022 to start.
The San Francisco 49ers needed to reinforce their depth within the secondary during the 2021 NFL Draft.
And for the most part, they did so. Except the majority of prospects selected to bolster the defensive backfield were brought aboard on day three of the draft, specifically in Round 5 with USC safety Talanoa Hufanga and Oregon cornerback Deommodore Lenoir.
