The Niners still have glaring needs on their roster, but this draft can fill them.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch meet midfield after a 28-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023. We’ll be doing more than a few of these over the next few weeks, but with the Niners still showing big holes on both sides of the ball, we should identify some top targets now, five weeks before the NFL Draft.
Combined, the three “cornerbacks” in the Niners’ base nickel defense would be as physical as any group in the NFL, save for the Chiefs, who pushed the Niners’ receivers around in the Super Bowl. If he’s sitting at 63, I imagine the 49ers will broad-jump out of their draft-room chairs to pick him.This guy was arguably the best guard in the country this season. Looking back at my notes from the college football season, I wrote down his name and “Dude” three separate times. In short, whenever I watched Michigan, I noticed how good their right guard was.
So why is he available here? Well, he had a gruesome leg injury in the Wolverines’ game against Ohio State — breaking your shin will raise some concerns.
