The San Francisco 49ers opened Day 3 of the NFL draft by selecting University of Oklahoma defensive tackle Gracen Halton with the 107th overall pick.
Halton is a little undersized at 6-2, 300 pounds with 31 1/8-inch arms. He wasn't productive during his first two years with the Sooners. In 21 games he had 21 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss with no sacks.
In his final two years he finally found his footing. He posted 63 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks in 26 games (10 starts).
The 49ers have a ton of bodies at defensive tackle after selecting a pair in last year's draft and trading for Osa Odighizuwa this offseason. They love their defensive line, though, and building that group out will always be a priority as they look to revamp their defense.
