49ers' Pita Taumoepenu: Headed to San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers selected Taumoepenu in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 202nd overall.
This looks like a pure depth grab here with San Francisco already loaded along the front four. That said, Taumoepenu has some athleticism, notching a 4.67 in the 40-yard dash.

His lack of size coupled with San Francisco's depth up front means that it could be awhile before Taumoepenu sees the field.
