The 49ers nailed their first-round pick, but they need to keep the momentum on Day 2. Here’s how they can do that.
Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn celebrates his touchdown run with offensive lineman Cooper Beebe in the first half of an NCAA college football game against Stanford in Arlington, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021. The 49ers still have nine picks remaining, and with dozens of high-level prospects remaining on the board, San Francisco’s goal of rebuilding their roster depth in this draft looks more attainable than ever.
Like Pearsall, Rosengarten is a player who was well-known in college but started the draft process generally overlooked. On arguably the best offensive line in college football, he protected Michael Penix’s blind side and did an outstanding job. His mobility and tenacity match what the Niners need and value at tackle. He can be the right tackle of today and the left tackle of tomorrow.
Second, Kirk Cousins has two years of guaranteed money, and he’s coming off an Achilles tear at age 35. Penix will play the second half of his rookie contract.
