When looking at the primary piece of San Francisco 49ers mock NFL Draft classes out there for 2021, the consensus was either a starting kind offensive tackle at No. 12 all things considered, everything with the exception of nullified in the wake of the Niners re-signing Trent Williams, a pass-rusher, cornerback or perhaps a quarterback to override Jimmy Garoppolo.
49ers Add More Safety To The Team
Less a safety. Granted, safety was fairly a need before San Francisco re-checked one of its starters, strong safety Jaquiski Tartt, seven days after free agency initiated. In any case, with Tartt back on a one-year deal, it doesn’t seem like the 49ers would use their first pick in the draft, No. 12 for the most part, on a safety, right? In light of everything, one second.
There is some authenticity to this assurance. As Trapasso’s mock worked out, Grant ended up being the resulting safety picked behind TCU’s Trevon Moehrig, who went No. 10 by and large addressing the Dallas Cowboys. San Francisco was purportedly in attendance for Moehrig’s expert day, so the obvious interest in adding a safety was there in any occasion sometime earlier this offseason.
Whether or not that setting has changed with Tartt back is difficult to say, yet one would figure the 49ers could without a doubt have interest in the 6-foot-0, 194-pound Grant, too. Grant figures to be one of the principle two safeties picked on draft day, and it’s not hard to envision his fit with the Niners. While at UCF, Grant was used in various systems and schemes, both as a single high safety with a great deal of arrive at similarly as more-standard Cover 2 systems. UCF wasn’t hesitant to thump him down closer to the case, also, suggesting he could be a strong safety circling back to surges if need be.
