The San Francisco 49ers addressed safety in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected Wake Forest safety Malik Mustapha, adding depth to the position.
Mustapha, a 5’10, 210-pound safety, was a player that several analysts saw as a value pick, and he provides some much-needed depth for the 49ers, who have Talanoa Hufanga recovering from a torn ACL injury and 2023 third-rounder Ji’Ayir Brown as their top options at the position.
What led the 49ers to ultimately take him in the fourth round and how does he fit the team?
