49ers select Toledo CB Samuel Womack with No. 172 overall pick

The 49ers finally addressed the secondary in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. 

With the No. 172 pick, San Francisco selected Toledo cornerback Samuel Womack. 

At 5-foot-9, 187 pounds, Womack is a speedy corner that lacks the typical size of an outside corner. He could compete at the nickel corner position alongside Deommodore Lenoir, two likely backups to either Ambry Thomas or Emmanuel Mosely if either is moved inside.
