49ers' best draft fits: Next up, guard | The Sacramento Bee

This item is part of a series on the positions the 49ers will look to fill in the upcoming draft and the players that best fit those spots. They will be published in order of need.

Next up: guard

Description: Simply put, Kyle Shanahan wants interior linemen who can move. The outside zone-running scheme that is a staple of his offense requires nimble offensive lineman who can get down the line of scrimmage quickly. The Cleveland Browns, for example, used a second-round pick on guard Joel Bitonio in 2014 when Shanahan was their offensive coordinator.
