49ers take Missouri’s offensive tackle in recent Mock Draft
It’s time to start getting into mock drafts and seeing what analysts think the 49ers should be taking this year. We all have our arguments on priorities for the 49ers. This one lands in the camp of an offensive lineman.
NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah conducted his first mock draft on Saturday. Since the NFL Scouting Combine has yet to occur, Jeremiah’s mock draft was based on what he “hears around the league.”
So, with that in mind, he has the 49ers taking Missouri offensive lineman Armand Membou. Here’s what he said about the pick:
Membou is the most technically sound offensive lineman in this class. He reminds me of Aljah Vera-Tucker when he entered the league. Membou will be an exceptional guard who can also play tackle if needed.
My entire preaching this offseason will be on “fixing the lines,” both offensively and defensively, emphasizing the offensive. The 49ers need to have a succession plan in place for Trent Williams rather than have something come by surprise.
Back to Membou. I’m all about this. Membou played in a zone-based run scheme, a plus for the 49ers’ offense. I can only go off the tape I’ve seen and his draft profile without seeing how he does in the combine.
It seems like the issue is his height, which is 6’3”. That could be a concern if the plan were to plug him in at tackle, but with the status of 49ers guard Aaron Banks up in the air, maybe that would work for a guard.
I also see some projections that he will go 24. The 49ers pick 11, so that seems OK? Maybe there’s a better player available at 11 for the defensive line when the draft rolls around.
Based on Jeremiah’s logic, I’d be satisfied with this pick. The 49ers need to figure out the defensive and offensive lines for 2025 and beyond when Trent Williams calls it a career.
