No. 4: Bradley Bozeman, Center, Alabama

We continue on a similar vein here. The Niners double dip on the offensive line, similar to them taking Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, don’t be shocked to see multiple picks on the offensive line.

Bradley Bozeman stands a solid 6-foot-5 and 314 pounds, and has played both guard and center at Alabama, setting into the Center position during Bama’s title-winning run. He had a solid Senior Bowl and looks set to be a steady pick in Rounds 2 or 3. He plays with physicality and a mean streak, and can instantly upgrade possibly the Niners’ weakest position.

Why This Makes Sense

Although the 49ers offensive line showed signs of improvement, thanks to Jimmy Garoppolo’s fast decision making and his leadership, Daniel Kilgore ranked a low 24th for NFL centers according to Pro Football Focus and can be upgraded. The Niners have met with Bozeman, whose versatility will appeal to Kyle Shanahan, and may be hard to resist if available.
