With their final pick in the draft, the 49ers selected Miami defensive back Adrian Colbert.
Who is he?: Colbert started four games at safety at Texas before transferring to Miami. he played cornerback there, starting two games and playing in eight. Colbert finished with 22 tackles, one interception and three pass break ups. He measured 6-0, 200 pounds at his pro day and ran his 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds.
How he fits: Colbert will get a chance to play both safety and cornerback with the 49ers but his roster spot likely hinges on his special teams ability. One of the team’s biggest needs is free safety. Jimmie Ward, who has been injured in recent years, lined up there in the team’s recent minicamp.
