Justin Skule Pick: Sixth round (No. 183) Position: OT Height, weight: 6-7, 317 College: Vanderbilt Last Vanderbilt player drafted by 49ers: LB Jamie Winborn (second round, 2001) Last OT drafted by 49ers: Mike McGlinchey (first round, 2018) The skinny: Started 25 games at left tackle the past two seasons after starting 13 games at right tackle as a sophomore. … Ended his career with 40 straight starts. … Two-time all-SEC academic pick who was on conference's academic honor roll as a freshman. … His dad, who works for the FBI, was an offensive lineman at Navy. OTs on 49ers' roster: McGlinchey, Joe Staley, Shon Coleman, Christian DiLauro Analyzing pick: Skule will compete with Coleman to serve as the 49ers' primary swing tackle behind McGlinchey and Staley. Given his sixth-round status, it's unlikely the 49ers are viewing as a strong option to play right tackle when McGlinchey eventually shifts to left tackle to replace Staley, who is in his 13th season.
