The 49ers’ cornerback room is in decent shape, but they’re far from set at the position. Drafting another CB would make a ton of sense, and Minnesota CB Terell Smith has upside worth betting on. San Francisco met with Smith formally at the NFL combine per the Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Smith started his career with the Golden Gophers as a starter during his freshman year, but he only played in 14 games the next two years with no starts. He finally climbed back into a starting role for the 2021 and 2022 seasons and thrived with 54 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, three interceptions, 10 pass breakups and a forced fumble in 23 games with 20 starts.
