The San Francisco 49ers held a private workout with North Carolina A&T tackle Brandon Parker this morning, according to a report by Josh Norris of Rotoworld and NBC Sports.
NC A&T OT Brandon Parker will visit the #Lions tomorrow, per source.
Parker also completed a private workout for the #49ers this morning.
Parker earned MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year honors in 2015 while starting all 12 games for the Aggies and then repeated as the award recipient in 2016 and 2017. As a senior he also earned first-team FCS All-American honors from the Associated Press.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-7 and 314-pound Parker had a 40-time of 5.4 seconds, a vertical jump of 28.5 inches, a broad jump of 113 inches, completed the three-cone drill in 7.82 seconds, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.68 seconds.
NFL.com projects Parker to be a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Parker to Jylan Ware, wrote the following within his scouting report:
"Parker's high center of gravity creates some athletic challenges for him, but he possesses the physical traits that teams are willing to draft and coach up. Despite his college experience, Parker is a bit of a project who will need to continue to work on his technique and core strength before he is ready to handle NFL pass rushers. Parker plays a high priority position with a limited talent pool this season and should go earlier than the tape dictates."

Could the 49ers trade up in the draft for a top tackle?
By David Bonilla

The San Francisco 49ers are likely hoping that a top offensive lineman drops to them at No. 31 in the first round of this month's draft. Fans would like to see the team add someone to compete with Colton McKivitz for the right tackle spot and potentially take over for Trent Williams when the future Hall of Famer decides to retire.
Having two studs bookending the offensive line would go a long way in protecting franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. While tackle may be the first-round target, depending on how the first 30 selections play out, San Francisco might have to trade up to get a genuinely impactful

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.

"According to a team source, the Steelers and 49ers trade talks are real," Strackbein wrote. "While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation, and Pittsburgh isn't willing to budge much on price."
While it seems unlikely that the 49ers would part ways with Aiyuk for anything less than a first-round draft
