Michigan offensive lineman Michael Onwenu is a mountain of a man, and his incredible power allows him to physically dominate in tight spaces. He has the ability to overwhelm opponents at the point of engagement. Onwenu plays with a mean streak, which will endear him to any offensive line coach.

With the uncertainty of Niners left tackle Joe Staley‘s future with the team, selecting an offensive lineman to add depth and perhaps eventually pair with right tackle Mike McGlinchey seems to be the prevailing thought.

And although Onwenu may lack versatility and have heavy footwork, he would offer the Niners a chance to snag good value, immediate rotational depth and potentially a starter with this sixth-round NFL Draft pick.
