San Francisco 49ers Trade Down, Draft Solomon Thomas No. 3 Overall

San Francisco 49ers Trade Down, Draft Solomon Thomas No. 3 Overall

With the No. 3 overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected former Stanford Cardinal defensive end Solomon Thomas to bolster their defensive line.

With a new general manager in John Lynch and a new head coach in Kyle Shanahan, the new 49ers management pulled off a big trade, moving back one spot and picking up a bunch of draft picks in the process.

Chicago gave San Fran the Nos. 3, 67, 111, and a 2018 3rd-round pick for the No. 2 pick, and the 49ers still drafted Thomas, who many figured they'd target at No. 2.

San Francisco has a ton of holes all over its roster, and will be able to slot Thomas immediately into its defensive line depth chart.

In just two seasons at Stanford, Thomas was highly productive. He had 25.5 tackles for a loss and 11.5 sacks in his two years, with 8 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss in 2016 alone. He has 65 career solo tackles and 101 total tackles.

Thomas stands 6-foot-3 and 273 pounds, with 33-inch arms and 9 3/4-inch hands. At the NFL combine he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds, did 30 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, had a vertical leap of 35.0 inches and a broad jump of 126.0 inches, ran the three-cone drill in 6.95 seconds and did the 20-yard shuttle in 4.28 seconds.

Here's a look at Thomas' career statistics from his time as a member of the Stanford Cardinal:

YEAR GP SOLO A TOT TFL SACKS
2015 14 24 15 39 10.5 3.5
2016 13 41 21 62 15 8
Total 27 65 36 101 25.5 11.5
