While not a flashy pick, 49ers rookie offensive lineman Jaylon Moore could carve out a spot on the depth chart as a backup guard.

The San Francisco 49ers spent day three of the 2021 NFL Draft mostly reinforcing their secondary and offensive line.

After not having a pick in Round 4, the Niners spent their first of three fifth-round selections on Western Michigan offensive lineman Jaylon Moore, who’ll be thrust right away into a competition with returning veteran interior linemen like Tom Compton, Daniel Brunskill, Justin Skule and Colton McKivitz as well as the team’s second-round pick, Notre Dame guard Aaron Banks.
