With at least one of their 11 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, the 49ers likely will add offensive line depth.
During free agency, right tackle Mike McGlinchey was signed by the Denver Broncos, and versatile Daniel Brunskill joined general manager Ran Carthon in Tennessee as a Titan. And while Colton McKivitz is the likely candidate to take over at right tackle, 49ers general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan will look to bring in a few players as competition at various O-line positions.
The rest of the line is set, with Trent Williams locking down the left tackle spot, with Aaron Banks next to him at left guard. Center Jake Brendel signed a four-year contract in free agency, keeping him with the team through the 2026 season, and in 2022, Spencer Burford showed he deserves the spot at right guard.
With no picks until the end of the third round at Nos. 99, 101 and 102 overall, the 49ers could choose a developmental player to cross-train as a swing tackle who eventually could take over when Williams decides to retire.
Here are three offensive tackles that the 49ers could target in the draft.
Tyler Steen, Alabama
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 321 pounds
Age: 22
Bench Press: 31 reps

Steen appeared in 37 games at Vanderbilt before his one season as Alabama's starting left tackle. The 22-year-old started his college career as a defensive lineman before switching to the other side of the ball in 2020.
In 833 snaps in his senior season, the Crimson Tide tackle allowed just two sacks, two hits and 19 hurries, earning him a second-team All-SEC nod. Steen might not be ready to start in Week 1 of the 2023 season, but he could be a developmental addition to the 49ers' offensive line room.
Draft evaluators' knock on Steen is his footwork, which could be developed over time by offensive line coach Chris Foerster. If Steen's lower body can sync up with the strength and power of his upper body, he could have a solid NFL future.
Wanya Morris, Oklahoma
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 307 pounds
Age: 22
Morris appeared in 37 games at Oklahoma -- 27 as a starter -- with his two first college seasons at Tennessee before he became a Sooner. He's known for his athleticism, allowing just two hits and two hurries in 303 pass-blocking snaps at right tackle in 2022.
Morris is sufficient at both run and pass blocking, but with good coaching, he could become a solid NFL starter. The knock on the versatile tackle is his two-game suspension for academics in his senior season, but if he can stay focused and develop, he could be a value pick as a projected fifth-round selection.
Braeden Daniels, Utah
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 294 pounds
Age: 22
40-yard dash: 4.99 seconds
Daniel has appeared in 49 games — 43 as a starter, all across the offensive line. His versatility could make him an attractive pick in the later rounds of the draft. In 513 pass-blocking snaps in his senior season, Daniels allowed only one hit and just 14 hurries, earning him first-team All-Pac-12 honors.

Slated as a fourth- or early fifth-round selection, Daniels could be a 49ers target on Day 3 of the draft. With good coaching, the Utah product would be able to work on his consistency, which is one criticism by draft gurus who have watched Daniels' game film.
