San Francisco 49ers beef up for another playoff run in 7-round 2020 mock draft

While San Francisco’s offensive line has performed well, age could soon get the best of this group, especially in the case of Joe Staley. Staley has been one of the best tackles in the league for a while now, but as of late, he has clearly not bee the player of old. The technique is still there but his quickness and athleticism are fading

Colton McKivitz will most definitely not take the starting job from Staley in 2020 as he is another developmental offensive lineman. However, McKivitz is a mobile offensive tackle with solid blocking ability against speed rushes and good recognition ability.

Unfortunately, McKivitz has a terrible anchor and does not do well against bull rushes at all. The choice for McKivitz is largely about scheme fit and he will still require further development before he sees the field.

Other Players Available: Mykal Walker, Josiah Scott, Francis Bernard

The 49ers have a solid group of cornerbacks, particularly with elite play from Richard Sherman this past season. But that doesn’t mean adding at cornerback wouldn’t help, especially with age likely catching up to Sherman in the near future.

Lavert Hill has two things going for him: speed and football IQ. Hill is fairly fast and will rarely let anybody burn him down the field because of that. Hill is also very smart for a player his age, knowing how to attack the ball and the receiver and where he should be attacking on a play-by-play basis.

Even with his speed an IQ, Hill is extremely skinny and isn’t as agile as you would like for him to be. When Hill faces more nuanced route-running receivers, it gets ugly. Hill also has no physicality to his game and will often get out-leveraged because of it. Hill is a bit of a developmental cornerback who is likely best served to play in the slot.

Other Players Available: Reggie Robinson, Davion Taylor, T.J. Brunson
