NFL: Chad Reuter, Draft Analyst

Trade Up with the Green Bay Packers

Round 1: No. 25 overall: CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama

“Whether it’s for a cornerback like McKinstry, an offensive lineman or a receiver, the 49ers could very well give up a mid-round pick to acquire one of the few missing pieces on an otherwise potent roster.”

ESPN: Jordan Reid, NFL Draft Analyst

Round 1: CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama

“Finding a right tackle is high on the 49ers to-do list, but the “best player available” approach fits here, too. Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir are both set to become free agents in 2025, so cornerback is a sneaky need in San Francisco. A severely underrated player throughout the pre-draft process, McKinstry has pro-ready technique. He allowed only nine receptions on throws into his coverage last season. McKinstry had surgery for a Jones fracture in his right foot this offseason, but he’s expected to be ready for training camp.”

Pro Football Focus: Trevor Sikkema, NFL

Round 1: OT Jordan Morgan, Arizona

“Morgan is a smooth-moving prospect whose best position in the NFL might be guard. His track and field background gives him natural balance and core strength for good change-of-direction ability. His arm length isn’t elite for offensive tackle play, but it should be adequate. While his footwork is fast, the strides in his kick slide are short. His hand placement, patience and football IQ are all pluses. Though listed at 325 pounds, he lacks density and strength. Bull rushes can overwhelm him if they come at an angle, and though he has the foot speed to stay in front of pass rushers, he doesn’t have the natural strength to redirect their momentum.”
