RG  Deontae Priester   6'5"  305 lbs.  Georgia Tech  74 ovr

When the 49ers took Priester in the 4th they knew they were going to have to work on building his lower body strength.  While their plan might not materialize with him hitting 40 reps on his bench,  he makes up with his lack of strength with a high level of understanding technique and footwork.  He was a great anchor in the running game on the right side playing in college at Georgia Tech.  Still, he needs to hit the gym and increase his strength otherwise he could find himself getting man handled at this level of football.
