No. 21: Offensive Tackle Cam Robinson, Alabama
As noted previously, the 49ers might consider adding some help to their offensive line this offseason. It’s far from a perfect unit.
And one of those moves could be bringing in Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson.
San Francisco held a pre-draft visit with Robinson, as Niner Noise broke down earlier this month.

But Robinson also comes with off-the-field issues, which have to be of concern. And he might end up being a better guard at the NFL level. The tape doesn’t reveal a great fit within a zone system anyway, which makes the fit with Kyle Shanahan’s offense more than questionable.
Yet San Francisco has some reported interest, so it’s something worth watching until further notice.
