The San Francisco 49ers selected LB Reuben Foster 31st overall in the 2017 draft, saying afterward that they would have taken the former Alabama standout with the third overall pick, had the Bears stayed put and selected Solomon Thomas. The Niners cut Foster on Sunday, hours after his latest arrest on a domestic violence charge at the team's Tampa hotel. Foster is the highest player selected in the 2017 draft to be dumped by his club. * After sending the 67th overall pick to the Saints, who used it on RB Alvin Kamara, the Niners traded back up in Round 3 to draft C.J. After all, it would be unfair to write this piece without acknowledging that it's still very early for a jury to reconvene on any club's 2017 draft haul.
