Kiper predicts the 49ers will select former Washington tackle Roger Rosengarten in the first round to challenge Colton McKivitz at right tackle, given Rosengarten's impressive pass-blocking record and ties to Christian McCaffrey's father.
Rosengarten allowed significantly fewer pressures than McKivitz in recent seasons and received a high pass-blocking grade in 2023, indicating his potential to enhance the 49ers' offensive line performance.
Kiper also projects the 49ers to pick former Kentucky cornerback Andru Phillips in the second round to strengthen their secondary, highlighting Phillips' ability to provide immediate depth and talent infusion in the defensive backfield.
