49ers NFL Draft target No. 2: LG Marquis Hayes (Oklahoma)

Marquis Hayes is a great value pick the 49ers should be able to acquire in the third round of the draft and has a total of 36 career starts at left guard. Hayes would slide right into the starting left guard position and could end up being the steal of this draft.

His ability in the run game is what truly should excite Niner fans with the power to move opposing defensive linemen and open up holes in the running game.

Being a three-year starter at one of the most potent offenses in college football is always a plus, and he has the most experience of any guard in this year’s class.

Hayes has a very high motor and is always looking for more work along the offensive line, and he is aggressive from the snap of the ball and is looking to get violent with the opposing defenders.
