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."

Rapoport: 49ers and Raheem Mostert are in 'a lot better place' since trade request
By David Bonilla
Jul 21, 2020
On July 8, San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert and his agent requested a trade after months of what they described as "unproductive" contract negotiations. Mostert is scheduled to earn a base salary of $2.575 million in 2020, which is the second year in the three-year deal he signed last offseason.
By comparison, running back Tevin Coleman leads 49ers running backs in earnings with a 2020 base salary of $4.55 million. The request led many to speculate on Mostert's NFL future, and whether or not his time with San Francisco could come to an end.
It seemed unlikely, however, that the 49ers would grant his trade request without another team offering something they could not refuse. That probably wasn't going to happen with so much uncertainty surrounding

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and still have one of the best rosters in the NFL, so there wasn't too big a need for significant improvement. That's most of the reason why the Kyle Shanahan-led squad came in at No. 26 within ESPN's ranking of the NFL's most-improved teams.
The sports site lists wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, and offensive tackle Joe Staley as the 49ers' most significant offseason losses. It also notes, however, the players added to replace each.
