2015 NFL Draft results: 49ers select OLB Eli Harold out of Virginia

A day after moving down in the first round, the San Francisco 49ers decided to stand pat in the next two rounds of the 2015 NFL Draft. The team used the 79th overall pick in round 3 to select Virginia outside linebacker Eli Harold.

Our friends at Streaking The Lawn have a scouting report to get caught up on Harold. The 49ers have Aldon Smith, Aaron Lynch and Ahmad Brooks at OLB, but Brooks could be gone after this year, and Smith is in the final year of his contract. There are no guarantees, and some additional pass rush help is not a bad thing for a defense that is re-something (building, loading, whatever).

Our friends at Over The Cap have put together rookie pool estimates. For this pick, the 49ers will be giving Harold approximately a $606,376 signing bonus. The total value of the deal will be approximately $2,886,376, and the first year cap number would be approximately $586,594. We'll get confirmation on these numbers later this summer.
