Lattimore has played in 19 games over the past two years with the Buckeyes. During that time, he has 46 tackles, four interceptions, and 12 passes defended. Lattimore is considered by most draft analysts to be the top cornerback available in the draft.
The 49ers currently own the second overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, which kicks off on April 27 from Philadelphia.
The knock on Lattimore has been his history with hamstring injuries. He redshirted his first year at Ohio State in 2014 and played in only seven games his redshirt freshman year in 2015, due to hamstring injuries. Lattimore was named First Team All-Big Ten in 2016.
"Average-sized, one-year starter with explosive athleticism and a loaded tool box. He has the feet, hips and agility to be a lockdown cornerback and the ball skills to make teams pay for looking in his direction. His lack of experience could show up early, but he has the confidence and competitive nature that should help him overcome those issues. He has the ability to become a Pro Bowl cornerback early in his career."

Film From the Field House: How the 49ers Can Rebound to Beat the Jets
By Bret Rumbeck

The start of the 2020 NFL season has not been kind to the San Francisco 49ers.
During the first half of the Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals, tight end George Kittle suffered a sprained knee and went into the locker room early. He finished the game but had no catches in the second half.
On September 16, 2020, the 49ers kept him out of practice and noted he would likely not practice on Thursday or Friday.
Shortly after the Kittle news, the team announced that cornerback Richard Sherman would miss three
49ers vs Jets: Five Keys to Victory and Score Prediction

After last week's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers are looking to rebound and chalk up that first win of the season. It has been a difficult week as the team dealt with the loss, but also in the health department as the injury bug has reared its ugly head early and often.
The offense was hampered by the losses of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Richie James Jr. at receiver, Ben Garland and Weston Richburg at center, and perhaps most importantly, George Kittle at tight end. Kittle, Samuel, Richburg and James will not play on Sunday, but there was some good news as Aiyuk and Garland are set to make their season debuts. Free agent receiver Mohamed Sanu was signed this week to shore up the receiver corps.
While the loss of Kittle is never good,
With multiple starters out tomorrow versus the Jets, there's no surprise that the 49ers' depth will be tested. Here are 3 players who will step up to propel the 49ers to their first win of the season.
1. Ross Dwelley
Ross Dwelley did well filling in for George Kittle when the latter missed a few games in 2019, including 2 touchdowns against the Cardinals. Jordan Reed will undoubtedly be more involved, but I'd expect Ross Dwelley to be more engaged in both the run and pass game. Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman should be featured all game long, setting up easy play action passes to Dwelley.
Prediction: 4 catches for 45 yards, 1 TD
2. Emmanuel Moseley
Expect Emmanuel Moseley to rebound from Week 1's
