With the 49ers recent decision to switch to a 4-3, this is a bit more of an iffy pick but my worry in Denver was that this guy lacks the explosion to be an every down 3-4 OLB. Not sure if he has the length for the 4-3 DE spot but he might and the tools to be an effective pass rusher are there. He'll need to play with a big motor and develop his moves a bit and if he does, I can see a Tamba Hali as an end kind of performance from him.
The 49ers select Tarell Basham, DE/OLB - Ohio
Should be stout against the run if nothing else with the ability to chip in 6+ sacks in a lot of years.
