The San Francisco 49ers used five of their eight selections at the 2021 NFL Draft on offensive players. The Niners hope two of those prospects can develop into long-term solutions in the trenches.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan added Notre Dame guard Aaron Banks in Round 2. They then went with Western Michigan’s Jaylon Moore in the fifth-round (No. 155 overall).
The 6-4, 311-pound Moore was a dominant three-year starter at left tackle for the Broncos. Pro Football Focus gave Moore an overall grade of 77.5 for his efforts last season, where he only gave up six total pressures and committed just three penalties.
