The San Francisco 49ers spent three of their nine total picks in the 2018 NFL Draft on defensive backs. And so far, the returns on investments haven’t exactly been stellar.
- Round 3, No. 95 Overall: Safety Tarvarius Moore, Southern Mississippi
- Round 5, No. 142 Overall: Defensive Back D.J. Reed, Kansas State
- Round 6, No. 184 Overall: Safety Marcell Harris, Florida
There are certain, understandable reasons for this. Moore is amid the transition from safety to cornerback — a position he never played at the collegiate level — as the Niners defense looks to take advantage of his lanky 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame.
