A breakdown of the 2016 San Francisco 49ers draft class and it's progress after two weeks of training camp.
DeForest Buckner, DE, first round: Buckner hasn't taken long to make an impact in this camp, quickly earning repetitions with the first-team defense. Buckner has showed his versatility playing multiple positions along the line and he's trending toward landing a starting job sooner than later.
Joshua Garnett, G, first round: Garnett didn't sign his rookie contract until the night before the 49ers reported and missed part of the offseason program because his class hadn't graduated yet but he's making up ground quickly. He started out as the third-team right guard and moved up to the second team a week in, and though he's now getting work on the left side as well, it's clear he also has a good chance to elevate to the starting unit in the near future.
Will Redmond, CB, third round: Redmond has had to ease his way into this camp as he bounced back from a knee injury but he's been more involved of late. Redmond has worked exclusively inside in the nickel and has a chance to win the competition for that spot.
Rashard Robinson, CB, third round: If you're looking for the rookie who carries himself like he's already an established NFL star, Robinson is it. He's earned rave reviews from teammates and coaches for his competitive drive and has made his share of plays as well. There doesn't appear to be a starting job open at the moment but Robinson figures to find his way on to the field one way or another if he continues at his current rate.
Ronald Blair, DL, fifth round: Perhaps the most intriguing talent in this group, Blair has also earned reps with the first-team defense already. Defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil views Blair as a movable piece capable of playing anywhere on the line and possibly standing up and rushing from the edge so it's fair to assume he's got a good shot to not only win a roster spot but dress on game days.
John Theus, OL, fifth round: Theus' progress will be easier to gauge after the Niners open the preseason, but to this point he's been the third-string right tackle. He'll find himself in a battle for a spot on the roster through the rest of camp and the preseason schedule.
Fahn Cooper, OL, fifth round: Much like Theus, Cooper is attempting to force his way into the battle for a backup spot. He's spent this camp as the third-string left guard and will look to distinguish himself during the preseason slate.
Jeff Driskel, QB, sixth round: Embroiled in the 49ers' "other" quarterback battle with Thad Lewis for a possible third roster spot, Driskel has flashed promise in the early going. His decision making in the read option has been good and he's moved the team successfully at times in team drills.
Kelvin Taylor, RB, sixth round: It's been a mostly nondescript camp so far for Taylor, who is listed as the fourth-team running back. If he's to earn a spot on the roster, it's going to have to come through strong preseason performances, presumably including good work on special teams.
Aaron Burbridge, WR, sixth round: Outside of No. 1 receiver Torrey Smith, there's plenty of room for wide receivers to win roster spots. Burbridge hasn't done much to stand out in that competition yet but will have a chance to in the next month.
Prince Charles Iworah, CB, seventh round: It's a crowded group at cornerback with a number of players offering standout performances so far. Iworah hasn't really been one of them, though, and it would seem he has an uphill climb to make the roster at this point.
