The 49ers 5th-round pick this year, OLB Darius Fleming, tore his left ACL during this past weekends mini camp. It was reported that he has sustained a hamstring injury.

It is unknown whether he was allowed to practice either with the hamstring injury, and then injured his ACL, or he had tore his ACL when it was reported he hurt his hamstring.

Fleming was expected to compete for a backup OLB spot, but with the news today, expect 7th-round pick, OLB Cam Johnson, to fill in and compete for a spot.

It is unknown what the 49ers will do with current 3rd OLB Parys Haralson, as he is due $2.87M in salary cap number, with $100K as a workout bonus, $200K as a roster bonus and $2.45M as non-guaranteed base salary.

Also new 49er signee Eric Bahktiari will likely compete now for a spot with Johnson, and possibly UDFA signee Joe Holland, who signed last week as a UDFA out of Purdue.

According to SacBee's Matt Barrows and Sirius XM Radio's Adam Caplan, the 49ers are expected to complete rookie contracts with 2 more draft choices.

Expected to sign are OLB Darius Fleming of Notre Dame, and FS Trenton Robinson of Michigan State.

Fleming was the 49ers 5th-round pick, overall pick #165, out of Notre Dame.

Fleming is expected to compete for a backup spot at OLB, and play on special teams.

While Robinson was the 49ers first 6th-round pick, overall pick #180, out of Michigan State.

Robinson is expected to compete for a backup spot at FS, hope to get time on special teams, and possibly CB, as he was a CB at Michigan State during his first few years.

The 49ers still have 4 draft picks left to sign, 1st-round WR A.J. Jenkins of Illinois, 2nd-round RB LaMichael James of Oregon, 4th-round OG Joe Looney of Wake Forest, and 7th-round OLB Cam Johnson of Virginia.

All draft picks sign 4-year deals, while 1st-round picks sign 4-year deals with a 5th-year option.

Update: Fleming received a $164K signing bonus, and Robinson received a $110,500K signing bonus. Both players got normal base salaries for entering the league, those are $390K(2012), $480K(2013), $570K(2014) and $660K(2015).

The 49ers added a 18th Undrafted free agent by signing Texas A&M DE Tony Jerod-Eddie to a 3-year rookie contract.

Jerod-Eddie will have a chance to make the team like both 2011 UDFA DL Ian Williams and Demarcus Dobbs did last year.

Jerod-Eddie is 6'5 and 301 lbs, and had a successful career at Texas A&M. He started 38 games of the 51 he played, while producing 148 tackles, 14..5 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble.

He had a career year in 2011, where he was a second team All-Big 12 selection. He had 56 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 5 sacks and 1 forced fumble.

Jerod-Eddie seems like the most likely candidate to make this years roster, which seems to have very few roster spots open. If he doesn't make the 53-man roster, I expect he along with Stanford's WR Chris Owusu, DE Matthew Masifilo and Southern Illinois RB Jewell Hampton to make the practice squad. You can also expect Owusu, Masifilo and Hampton to push for roster spots on the 53 man roster.

The 49ers picked Virginia DE Cam Johnson with the 237th pick.

Johnson was once thought of 1st-2nd round pick, but fell due to illness issues.

Johnson is 6'3, 268 lbs and ran a 4.75 40 at the combine. Expect Johnson to move to OLB, where he played some at Virginia. He will need to come in and work his butt off to make the teams 53-man roster.

I'm sure he will come in with a chip on his shoulder feeling he should of been a early round pick.
