Today is cornerback Tim HarrisPDTShareTweetShareShare49ers 90-in-90: CB Tim HarrisTim Harris, the final pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The 49ers addressed the secondary, a position of headaches in 2018, with the final pick. Harris isn’t going to be the hero you want, well at least right out of the gate. For starters, Harris should concern himself with staying healthy for a full season. He managed to do it in 2018, but his body of work is quite small considering he was out for majority of seasons in 2016 and 2017. The best we can get out of the Virginia cornerback is some solid special teams work and development at the NFL level. The 49ers cornerback group will have some ample competition for him, so if he’s going to make the roster his first year, special teams is where he’ll need to be. Here’s a highlight reel so you can see what he’s made of. Basic infoExperience: third seasonHeight: 6’1 Weight: 205Cap StatusHe has signed his four-year rookie deal. His cap hit for 2019 is $534 Roger Craig Jersey ,577How he can improveThe biggest knock on Harris is his health. He played two games in 2016 and one game in 2017. His 2018 was quite solid, for the eight of 13 games he started in, but there’s no telling how he can play in the NFL given how quickly he goes down. This does not go well with the 49ers’ tendencies to get afflicted with the injury bug. So that’s the first thing: stay healthy. The biggest thing on him to improve is his instinctive behavior. He has some good physical tools, but there’s a lot of work to do for him to match up with NFL pass-catchers. How he can regressGetting injured is the big thing. If Harris finds himself on IR yet again, it’s a strong indication of what his NFL career could be. The same arguments could be made for Nick Bosa, but through his injuries, he still managed to make himself a household name. Harris? Not so much. Then again, with the cornerback group, maybe a year stashed on IR could help him get acclimated to the NFL game. I’d rather seem him at least on a practice squad. Odds of making the rosterContrary to popular belief Ronnie Lott Color Rush Jersey , the 49ers cornerback unit isn’t as awful as initially thought, but it is a big “if.” If Richard Sherman can be at 100 percent, if Ahkello Witherspoon can put it together, if Jason Verrett can stay healthy. I just listed three names there and there’s plenty more behind them. This will be an interesting training camp to watch, but being the final pick of the 2019 draft (in the sixth round) doesn’t guarantee him a roster spot. This is going to ride on how players like Greg Mabin do in training camp and what Harris can show the staff. He could get stashed on the practice squad for a year, but that’s a rather risky solution for a player you drafted. He’ll need to show special teams value first and foremost. This will be a difficult climb for him, but if he can beat out Mabin, he may make it on the roster as their final cornerback. Regardless, he’s got a lot of competition in front of him. The 2018 college football regular season has come to a close https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerry-Rice-Jersey , and with this past weekend’s conference championship games a wrap, we move on to bowl season after the annual Army-Navy game. With approaching bowl games, we are also starting to get notable underclassmen declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft.Over the weekend, LSU cornerback Greedy Williams announced his plans to go pro. On Monday, Florida State defensive end Brian Burns announced he was turning pro. This comes as we are starting to hear a handful of draft prospects are going to sit out their bowl game to avoid an injury that will cost them next April.Williams is a strong candidate to go in the top five picks. He is a finalist for the Thorpe Award and was a midseason All-American. Mel Kiper has him ranked as the No. 5 overall prospect on his big board, and his career passer rating against is 43.0, per Pro Football Focus. The 49ers currently hold the No. 1 overall pick, with edge rusher Nick Bosa seeming to be the likely candidate. However, they will be analyzing plenty of players in the coming offseason Colin Kaepernick Jersey , and Williams is likely to be on their radar.Burns finished the season with ten sacks and 15.5 tackles for a loss. He stands a shade under 6’5 and is viewed as a hybrid edge rusher option. He is projected as a potential first round pick, albeit a little later in the round. The 49ers are going to have a high first round pick, but that also means a high second round pick. If they finish with the same record as the Oakland Raiders and get the nod for the No. 1 overall pick, they would then have the No. 2 pick of the second round — depending on if another team finishes tied with them.College players have until January 14th to declare early for the 2019 NFL Draft. Top prospect Nick Bosa has not formally declared for the draft, but he signed with an agent, which forfeits his remaining eligibility. Bosa will be the main name on our radar, but there will be plenty of other talented players to track!
