At one point the 6-3, 264-pounder had a big season in 2015. He recorded 39 tackles and seven sacks as a junior and that had hopes high for him entering his final year with the Fighting Illini. It ended up being a let-down year as the senior had just five sacks on the season.
He did have a career high with 56 tackles and was a pleasant surprise in the run game. Smoot is a very powerful edge defender who worked with former Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith last season, which means he did have some great teaching from an NFL quality coach.

Nov 19, 2016; Laramie, WY, USA; Wyoming Cowboys running back Brian Hill (5) scores a touchdown against the San Diego State Aztecs during the second quarter at War Memorial Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Troy Babbitt-USA TODAY Sports Round 5, Pick 146: Brian Hill Wholesale Pernell McPhee Jersey , RB — Wyoming Running back Carlos Hyde was a lone bright spot for the 49ers last season. he put up 988 yards on 217 carries which was good for 4.6 yards per rush. He had six touchdowns on the ground and added another three through the air to go along with his 27 receptions for 163 yards.
Behind Hyde was just sad. Shaun Draughn rushed 74 times for 196 yards which was good for just 2.6 yards per attempt as the primary second back. To recap, San Francisco needs a backup runner who can spell Hyde and offer something worthwhile should Hyde get injured.
With their first of two fifth-round picks, they grab Wyoming running back Brian Hill. The underclassmen leaves school after his junior season in which he went for 1,860 yards and 22 scores. This was after a sophomore season in which Hill rumbled for 1,631 yards and six touchdowns.
At 6-1 and 219 pounds, Hill has the size to wear defenses down. What he doesn’t have is an impressive resume as a pass catcher. He had just eight receptions in his final season and never scored a touchdown through the air. Despite that he would be worth a pick here as his value as a downhill runner can’t be argued.

Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Round 5, Pick 160: K.D. Cannon, WR — Baylor After letting go of the disappointing free agent pick up from Baltimore, Torrey Smith, San Fran brought in Pierre Garcon to be a number one wide out. They also got Aldrick Robinson for depth at the receiver spot and Marquise Goodwin to provide a legitimate deep threat.
They decide resting on their laurels isn’t prudent, so with their second pick in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select Baylor receiver K.D. Cannon. Measuring in at 5-11 and 182 pounds, Cannon ran well at the combine with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash. He also impressed with a 37-inch vertical jump.
Those numbers help him some Authentic Larry Doby Jersey , but he isn’t considered a complete prospect. Cannon played in a pass heavy offense which hasn’t produced incredible talent consistently. More often than not, players from the Baylor system haven’t lived up to standards at the pro level.
With his deep speed and ability to win leap balls, Cannon could be an exception. He posted over 1,000 yards as a freshman, and in 2016 as a junior. He also recorded 27 touchdowns for his career and is a threat to take it to the house at any given moment.
