The 49ers selected a Day 3 cornerback for the third straight year in the NFL draft, this time it being Darrell Luter Jr. from South Alabama.
SANTA CLARA — After a trio of third-round selections, the 49ers awoke Saturday morning to try uncovering more Day 3 gems.
The 49ers, with no fourth-round picks, rejoined the draft mix Saturday by selecting Darrell Luter Jr., a cornerback from South Alabama who says he’s versatile enough to play either outside or in the slot. Asked to describe his skillset, Luter said on a media call: “They’re on top of the roof. I’ve got strentgh, physicality and the mental part of the game. Especially coming into the NFL, I said once I get drafted, I’ll be in the playbook as soon get there, I’ll get connected to a veteran, to make them feel I’m a veteran, and to let coaches know they can trust me on the field.”
