In his recent two-round mock draft, Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN predicts that the San Francisco 49ers will focus on enhancing their offensive and defensive lines. Kiper suggests selecting Max Iheanachor, an offensive tackle from Arizona State, at No. 27 to prepare for the future as Trent Williams, the current left tackle, approaches the end of his career at 38 years old. Iheanachor, who has started 31 games in college, is noted for his long arms and quickness, although he is relatively new to football, having only started playing in 2022. For the No. 58 pick, Kiper recommends Gabe Jacas, a defensive end from Illinois, who had 11 sacks last season. Jacas would add depth to a defensive line that struggled last year, recording only 20 sacks, the lowest in the NFL. Kiper emphasizes that while the 49ers may not prioritize the offensive line in the first round, they must be prepared to seize opportunities that arise during the draft. With no third-round pick, the team must ensure they capitalize on their first two selections to address critical needs.
