Looks like he is a CB for us, at least how 49ers.com has the article listed as CB Darcel McBath. And roster section has him as a CB.
Wasn't he always a Safety though?? They must have some confidence in him if its true.
He may of played some CB, but I swear mostly Safety. Maybe Donatell gave brass some info we don't know about.

Nevermind AB he said he has played some CB in college.
Having to practice against a top offense -- namely sophomore WR Michael Crabtree -- is sure to help any DB hone their coverage skills. McBath, a former CB, was the Red Raiders' secondary anchor at the demanding free safety position since shifting there as a sophomore, going on to start his final 39 games. The opposition, often playing from behind and passing on most every day, challenged the middle of Tech's defense last season. McBath more than stood up to the challenge, pulling in seven INTs that included a school season-record tying two returns for TDs. Six of his seven pass deflections came on third-down plays.
During his rehabilitation, McBath bulked up to the point that the coaches felt his speed and hitting ability would be best at FS in 2006. The move was a total success
AnalysisPositives: Centerfielder with the build of a strong safety and good upper-body development. Comes downhill in a hurry, diagnosing the run and attacking receivers over the middle. Solid last line of defense and secure tackler in space. Reads the QB's eyes and has the speed to jump routes. Good hands for the INT. Finds his way through trash to the ballcarrier when near the line. Became a more vocal leader as a senior, and has always tried to lead by example. Directs the defense from the deep secondary. Contributes on special teams and should do so in the NFL due to his size and speed.

Seems were loaded with strong safety types, not a true center field ball hawk with speed and coverage skills
Robinson could be that guy, McBath seems like that type too, we shall see
If they keep 5 Safetys, he has a shot, but he would probably have to beat out Jones in the ST department
