San Francisco needs to start injecting some youth and better depth into their cornerback room. Gladney is the type of Day 2 prospect who can compete with Ahkello Witherspoon and Emmanuel Moseley for the starting job right away. He could also benefit from a year as a reserve and step into a starter’s role in his second season. Gladney is super aggressive and looks bigger on tape than his 5-10, 191-pound frame. While that misses the mark of the typical physical profile the 49ers want at corner, he finds a way to be around the football and has a swagger that would fit nicely in a confident 49ers secondary.
