According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the San Francisco 49ers hosted Memphis offensive lineman Dylan Parham on a pre-draft visit on Tuesday. The 2022 NFL Draft kicks off next week.
#Memphis interior OL Dylan Parham visited the #49ers yesterday and on the final day of Top 30 visits, is at the #Broncos today, source said. A sure Friday pick who could sneak into the second round.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6' 2 5/8" and 311-pound Parham had a 40-time of 4.93 seconds, a vertical jump of 26.5 inches, a broad jump of 108 inches, a 7.78-second three-cone drill time, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.7 seconds. Parham's other measurables include an arm length of 33 1/8 inches and hands measuring 10 1/4 inches.
Parham had 25 reps in the bench press at his personal Pro Day.
"Highly experienced guard prospect who helped open running lanes for backs who went on to play in the NFL," wrote Lance Zierlein of NFL.com in his scouting report. "Parham falls below NFL size standards for the position but is very densely layered and plays with sound technique and above-average body control into and through contact. He's a task-oriented blocker who is much better at firing out than playing on the move and his success could be linked to the rushing scheme he lands in.
"Below-average mirror quickness and overall length are exploitable holes in his pass protection and could cause up-and-down play in that area. Parham can step in as a backup at both guard spots and has a shot to become a starter within his first three years."
Matt Barrows of The Athletic adds that Parham might be an option at center if veteran Alex Mack opts to retire over playing in his 14th NFL season.
Parham would be a contender to start at center if Alex Mack, 36, decides to retire. https://t.co/hkX9Wa4tL0
