The 49ers traded back one spot from the No. 63 pick in this year’s draft and selected Florida State cornerback Renardo Green with the final pick in the second round.
They sent pick Nos. 63 and 211 in the sixth round to the Chiefs in exchange for No. 64 and No. 173 in the fifth round.
San Francisco maintains its 10 picks in this year’s draft and slides up into the fifth round while moving back just one spot in the second round.
Green is an interesting prospect who measured in at 6-foot, 191 pounds at Florida State’s Pro Day. His athleticism doesn’t jump of the screen, but his hard-nosed playing style does. It’s clear why the 49ers liked him despite his lack of top-end physical tools.
In five seasons Green played 52 games with 32 starts. He put up 148 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks, while notching 23 pass breakups and just one interception.
He figures to compete for a starting outside CB job right away.
