With the 28th pick in the seventh round (249th overall), the San Francisco 49ers selected
Western Kentucky CB Prince Charles Iworah.
NFL.com projected that Iworah would be selected in rounds 6 or 7 of the NFL Draft.
Analysis
Lance Zierlein of
NFL Media had the
following to say in his scouting report:
Iworah's tape is a little inconsistent at this time and his inability to mirror and match targets with consistency is troubling as a man-cover cornerback. While I see the explosive athleticism, his actual cover skills need enough fine-tuning that he may have to spend a year stashed on a practice squad.
DraftInsider.net had the following to say about Iworah in their scouting report:
Iworah is an athletic cornerback who needs to fine-tune his game but has the ability to line up in dime packages on Sunday.

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
