Round 7, Pick 28: 49ers select Western Kentucky CB Prince Charles Iworah

Apr 30, 2016 at 3:35 PM


With the 28th pick in the seventh round (249th overall), the San Francisco 49ers selected Western Kentucky CB Prince Charles Iworah.


NFL.com projected that Iworah would be selected in rounds 6 or 7 of the NFL Draft.

Analysis


Lance Zierlein of NFL Media had the following to say in his scouting report:

Iworah's tape is a little inconsistent at this time and his inability to mirror and match targets with consistency is troubling as a man-­cover cornerback. While I see the explosive athleticism, his actual cover skills need enough fine-­tuning that he may have to spend a year stashed on a practice squad.

DraftInsider.net had the following to say about Iworah in their scouting report:

Iworah is an athletic cornerback who needs to fine-tune his game but has the ability to line up in dime packages on Sunday.

An Arsenal of Weapons: The 49ers Have Quietly Become Even More Dangerous on Offense in 2024

By Don Atkinson

It's not a shock to anyone who looks back at the past two NFL seasons to contemplate that the San Francisco 49ers' offense has finally stepped out of the shadow cast by the team's ever-imposing defense. Since their 2019 Super Bowl run, players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and former 49ers Richard Sherman and Jimmie Ward have garnered most of the attention when talking about the team. That was indeed the case until 2022, when future Hall-of-Fame running back Christian McCaffrey, who came to San Francisco in a mid-season trade with the Carolina Panthers, changed the conversation.
