The 49ers added depth on the offensive line and in the secondary with their final two picks of the 2019 NFL Draft.
The final two picks of the 49ers’ 2019 Draft: Vanderbilt OT Justin Skule and Virginia cornerback Tim Harris. The goal of these late-round picks is to target players that have exciting measurables, a chance of making the roster and provide the team with quality depth. Skule (6-7, 315) and Harris (6-2, 205) both check the boxes in the sixth round. Lets take a look at what Twitter thought about the team’s last two choices:

With the 183rd pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the SF #49ers select Justin Skule, OT. @VandyFootball.
Competently blocked on the left edge for two years under Derek Mason. Solid, mechanically sound blocker with underrated athleticism.#NFLDraft

#JustinSkule 49ers Played both right & left tackle during the @Shrine_Game wk. Gd use of hands on cut off blocks. Has been known to grab cloth with his strong hands. Struggles with edge speed at times. More technique & footwork refinement are needed as a pass protector.
