FSU defensive back Renardo Green breaks up a pass intended for Oklahoma tight end Daniel Parker during the Cheez-It Bowl college football game of Florida State University versus Oklahoma at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022. ….User Upload Caption:SANTA CLARA — The 49ers finished out the NFL Draft’s second round Friday night by first swinging a trade — not involving one of their heralded wide receivers — before drafting defensive back Rendardo Green in the No.
A run on offensive tackles presumably prompted the 49ers to ship the No. 63 spot to the Kansas City Chiefs, thus moving the Niners down one slot for Green. As part of that deal, the 49ers acquired a fifth-round pick and sent a sixth-rounder to their two-time Super Bowl nemesis.Green brings versatility and speed to the secondary, after five seasons at Florida State. A freshman cornerback in 2019, he spent the next two seasons at safety, then moved back to cornerback the past two seasons.
