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.

Breer: Jimmy Garoppolo's 49ers fate dependent on Trey Lance's offseason development
Jimmy Garoppolo has remained on the San Francisco 49ers roster far longer than anyone expected or predicted. The Niners have tried to trade the veteran, clearing the way for second-year quarterback Trey Lance. However, offseason shoulder surgery halted trade discussions, and the 49ers, for now, appear stuck with Garoppolo and his hefty salary.
The 49ers have maintained that they are comfortable holding onto Garoppolo if they cannot strike a deal to their liking. Everyone realizes, though, that Plan A is to trade the quarterback for something worthwhile rather than letting him fulfill his contract on the team and leave as a free agent in 2023. Releasing Garoppolo would also net them nothing, aside from salary cap space.
Holding onto Garoppolo might happen. Most of
