49ers’ sixth-round pick: Vanderbilt OT Justin Skule

• --
Justin Skule Pick: Sixth round (No. 183) Position: OT Height, weight: 6-7, 317 College: Vanderbilt Last Vanderbilt player drafted by 49ers: LB Jamie Winborn (second round, 2001) Last OT drafted by 49ers: Mike McGlinchey (first round, 2018) The skinny: Started 25 games at left tackle the past two seasons after starting 13 games at right tackle as a sophomore. … Ended his career with 40 straight starts. … Two-time all-SEC academic pick who was on conference's academic honor roll as a freshman. … His dad, who works for the FBI, was an offensive lineman at Navy. OTs on 49ers' roster: McGlinchey, Joe Staley, Shon Coleman, Christian DiLauro Analyzing pick: Skule will compete with Coleman to serve as the 49ers' primary swing tackle behind McGlinchey and Staley. Given his sixth-round status, it's unlikely the 49ers are viewing as a strong option to play right tackle when McGlinchey eventually shifts to left tackle to replace Staley, who is in his 13th season.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
By David Bonilla
Apr 17
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco

The San Francisco 49ers have overhauled their defensive line in free agency, bidding farewell to defensive tackle Arik Armstead and defensive end Chase Young while bolstering their ranks with the signings of defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos. Additionally, they acquired defensive tackle Maliek Collins via trade.
Having focused primarily on the defensive side of the ball in free agency, the 49ers are widely anticipated to turn their attention to the offensive side in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Six worst first-round draft picks in 49ers' history

It is less than two weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers finally have a first-round draft pick, after not having one the last two years. Who will they select? Will it be a defensive player? An offensive player? They could use help on the offensive line and in the secondary and defensive line. And they may also have multiple holes to fill a year from now.
Either way, the 49ers need to hit on these draft picks, especially in the early rounds, where they haven't always been at their best. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have some first-round misses, like DT Solomon Thomas and LB Rueben Foster. But are those the worst first-round picks in team history? Neither made this list, though some will argue that Thomas should be on it, mainly because he was taken
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft

We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
