The 49ers on Friday drafted BYU linebacker Fred Warner with their first of two third-round picks.
Who is he? Warner fits the mold for a 49ers linebacker in he's got very good speed and is good in coverage. He led BYU last year with 87 tackles along with one interception and five pass breakups. At 6-3 he's taller than most inside linebackers and should be a good matchup against tight ends. Warner played in space at BYU and some teams were wondering if he'd be a strong safety in the NFL.
Where does he fit?
