There is one final day remaining for the 2018 NFL Combine. It’s an important day because it’s a day for defensive backs, and while the San Francisco 49ers are set at safety, they should be greatly interested in the performance of the cornerbacks.
Ahkello Witherspoon is a good corner that could one day be a great corner, while K’Waun Williams has the slot covered. Dontae Johnson is the problem. He was abysmal last season, and I don’t see him improving. The 49ers need a No. 1 cornerback, whether from the NFL Draft or from free agency.
My guess is one will come from both, though I think it would take an extremely great player to go at No. 9 overall. Someone like Minkah Fitzpatrick, who despite saying he thought he’d fit best at slot corner, I think he’s selling himself short. I think he can play anywhere, and he’d be an asset to the 49ers.
Of course, there’s also this guy ...

Below, I’ve included some tables with the measurements and the bench press results. The drills, like the 40-yard dash and the rest, will also be added throughout the day. This information was taken from a doc managed by the always-helpful Mike Loyko of NEPatriotsdraft.com.
