While the San Francisco 49ers found some options at cornerback and guard, the team leaves the draft still with some potential questions at center and safety.
SANTA CLARA — The San Francisco 49ers went into the NFL draft with only a few obvious positions of need they could potentially target.
“We went into this draft and we were down in numbers at corner and O-line,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday. “It was nice to add two of those at each position and then you try to take the best player available. You got needs, which you always want to address, but you never want to over-address. If the the right player with your needs goes there, then it makes a lot of sense.”
The Niners lost starting left guard Laken Tomlinson in free agency and also were hoping to upgrade from Daniel Brunskill at right guard this offseason. Now they have a couple more options to compete with Brunskill and second-year players Aaron Banks and Jaylon Moore for starting spots. The Niners are waiting for word whether 36-year-old center Alex Mack will return this season. San Francisco has journeyman Jake Brendel as a potential option or could move Brunskill over from guard, but would prefer to have Mack return.San Francisco also needs to replace strong safety Jaquiski Tartt, who is a free agent and hasn’t signed with any team.
