The 49ers selected Penn State linebacker Navorro Bowman with the 91st pick.

Bowman, 6-1 242 lbs, ran 4.62 and 4.66 at his pro day and projects to ILB in the 3-4 scheme.

However, with USC pass rush star Everson Griffen still on the board, tough to comprehend drafting an inside backer when other than Ahmad Brooks, who was an elite college 3-4 ILB at Virginia, the team's OLBs have produced very little in terms of creating consistent pressure on opposing QBs.

Bowman is also not without his personal demons. In 2007 was arrested for fighting on campus, and pleaded to a disorderly conduct charge, leading to probation which was further extended after admitting to marijuana usage. He later tested positive a few months later, which set back his probation one more year, with the prosecutor stating the next offense will lead to jail time.
