2024 Draft Early Look

30. San Francisco 49ers: Taliese Fuaga, OT, Oregon StateWith his firm hands and finishing mentality, Fuaga is the best run-blocking lineman I have studied this draft cycle, especially with his ability in zone. His feet get tied up when he gets too upright in pass protection (see: his 2023 Washington tape), but he can keep speed wide of the pocket and help answer the 49ers' struggles at right tackle.

yes please!

Guy is already moving up, seen him mocked as high as 10 now .

At first glance, it looks like the Niners may be shut out of the OT market, at least in the first round, if they stand pat. Besides QB and WR, the biggest run in most projections is for up to 7 OT's in the first round.

I see the following guys could be gone by the time the Niners draft:

Joe Alt
Olu Fashanu
Taliese Fuaga
JC Latham
Amarius Mims
Jordan Morgan
Tyler Guyton

The all star games, private workouts and the Combine are going to be must see TV to see if one of these OT's fall or some other options show up. Something to consider since McKivitz only has one year left and Trent will retire probably after next year.

Still have Kingsley Suamataia around. Patrick Paul too.

I'd throw a guy like Fautanu in there as well and to a lesser extent Paul. hope is some of those guys you mentioned are in the 20s the niners move up.

I think they need to do a let the draft come to you year this year. Could really use the depth replenishment all the picks will allow for.

This just came out today on the resurrected TDN (The Draft Network) website:

Lots of info on what's available on the offensive line besides just OT's.

Forgot about Suamataia. He's right there where Guyton and Morgan reside as a borderline first round picks. Paul is a pretty much regarded as a 2nd round prospect because he's not as athletic as the rest of this group.

Fautanu and Barton both are being projected as prospects who will move inside because they don't have the ideal size for an NFL OT. Both are great prospects and the Niners should consider them both. Barton seems destined to be a C and Fautanu as a OG based on their relative athleticism.
