Every year, we take a look at the history of the picks where the 49ers are selecting in the NFL Draft. This year, since the team isn’t selecting in the first round, we go down to pick No. 61 to get an idea about the caliber of player the Niners could potentially land.
Surprisingly, there have been plenty of productive players drafted at 61. We’re only going back to 2012 when the 49ers drafted LaMichael James. But, before that, the Cowboys drafted Martellus Bennett, the Chargers Vincent Jackson, and the Lions Gerald Alexander, who now serves as Miami’s defensive backs coach.
