Halton was chosen early on Day 3 with pick No. 107, joining recent 49ers draftees De’Zhaun Stribling, Romello Height, and Kaelon Black.
Halton brings quickness and interior pass rush ability, addressing a major team need after the 49ers recorded an NFL-low 20 sacks last season.
The 49ers made four in-draft trades, increasing their total picks from six to eight, and also traded linebacker Dee Winters to the Dallas Cowboys for a fifth-round selection.

Why did the 49ers prioritize a running back over protecting their franchise quarterback?
Can Kaelon Black become a future star or is he just insurance for Christian McCaffrey?
