Forty-Niners Add Versatile O-Lineman Carver Willis

The San Francisco 49ers grabbed offensive lineman, Carver Willis at pick number 127 on day two of the NFL draft.

Heading in, there were whispers about them beefing up the O-line, but this move is more about adding solid depth than plugging a starter spot right.

Away. Willis brings serious versatility to the table.

He's cool playing tackle, guard, or even center, wherever the team needs him.

Coming from college where he lined up at tackle, Scouts think he fits best inside, handling those tight space battles with power and leverage instead of speedy edge guys.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about his mindset. He's all in on competing anywhere along the line, drawing comps to legends like Zach Martin, who crushed it after switching from tackle in college to guard pro style.

Word is Willis already linked up with the Niners O-line coach, Chris Forster, at a clinic up at the University of Washington.

Forster spotted big jumps in his wide zone blocking technique and got hyped about it early.

This pick sets Willis up to grind his way into the mix, giving the 49ers flexible depth that could pay off big as they build for the long haul.
