The San Francisco 49ers have selected Indiana running back Kaelon Black with the No. 90 overall pick in the NFL Draft, according to @RapSheet. The pick marks the first time the 49ers have been on the clock since the opening day of the draft.
Black enters the NFL as a notable selection, having been a non-Combine invitee during the pre-draft process. Despite not participating in the official scouting event, his performance at Indiana was enough to convince the San Francisco front office to pull the trigger late in the third round.
The addition of Black provides the 49ers with fresh depth in the backfield as they look to build upon their existing offensive weapons. This selection ends a long wait for the team, which had not made a pick since Day 1. Black will now join a competitive roster in San Francisco as the draft continues into its later stages.
