That one offensive lineman was Iowa's Connor Colby The 49ers drafted Colby in the seventh round at No 249 overall with their second-to-last pick The 49ers wanted to draft an offensive lineman earlier but the ones they had their eyes kept getting taken You would think the 49ers would want to trade up for one if they're that selective Colby is the lone offensive lineman taken by the 49ers in the 2025 NFL draft why did they like Colby to take him with one of their final picks "We were happy to add Colby," said General Manager John Lynch "We think he's a really good scheme fit Great thing about Iowa is they run a very similar so you get to see a guy like him do things that we do and he does them well the selection of Colby seems more of "just because" from the 49ers it doesn't matter who or what position the 49ers target The odds of a player becoming a starter or even a role player from that round are unlikely Now, you can point to Brock Purdy and Jauan Jennings as successful seventh-round draft picks, but that's it. They are more outliers (especially Purdy) than anything. The 49ers didn't take a single offensive lineman in the draft until Colby. So, why not take him? Bring him into training camp and see what he's got. But he's not going to be anything more than a practice squad player. If he does become more than he will have beaten his value as a seventh-round pick, the best-case scenario for the 49ers.

Nate Morris a Kentucky businessman and major Trump donor added McConnell's opposition was "pathetic." Newsweek has contacted McConnell's office for comment via email Colby, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development in the first Trump administration, was confirmed to the No. 3 post in the Pentagon in a 54-45 Senate vote Tuesday Three Democrats—Rhode Island's Jack Reed, Arizona's Mark Kelly, and Michigan's Elissa Slotkin—voted in favor of Colby McConnell was the only Republican to oppose the nomination Vance criticized McConnell's stance on X, formerly Twitter calling it another example of "political pettiness." In response, Georgia Representative Mike Collins wrote: "Glad things are changing." McConnell, 83, the longest serving party leader in Senate history, will not seek reelection and will leave office in 2027 after more than 40 years in the Senate In a statement after the vote, McConnell criticized Colby's past comments suggesting the United States should shift its national security focus away from Europe and the Middle East toward China and the Indo-Pacific calling such a move "geostrategic self harm." McConnell, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, which oversees much of the Pentagon's budget, has repeatedly warned against abandoning Ukraine amid Russia's invasion and has opposed what he views as a trend toward U.S. isolationism. Colby has also faced criticism from hawkish lawmakers for suggesting the U.S could contain a nuclear-armed Iran rather than pursue military intervention During his confirmation hearing in March, Colby said Iran having nuclear weapons would pose an "existential" threat to the U.S and pledged to provide "credible" recommendations to prevent that outcome Vice President JD Vance posted on X: "Mitch's vote today—like so much of the last few years of his career—is one of the great acts of political pettiness I've ever seen." Businessman Nate Morris wrote: "Elbridge Colby is one of the brightest foreign policy minds in the GOP and it's pathetic watching Mitch McConnell continue to stand with Dems to sabotage President Donald Trump This is why whoever replaces Mitch in the Senate needs to represent a clean break from him—time for a change!" MAGA political commentator Charlie Kirk wrote: "Congratulations to Elbridge Colby on his confirmation as President Donald Trump's undersecretary for policy at the Pentagon Senator Mitch McConnell said in a statement: "Elbridge Colby's long public record suggests a willingness to discount the complexity of the challenges facing America the critical value of our allies and partners and the urgent need to invest in hard power to preserve American primacy a return to an Obama-era conception of à la carte geostrategy Abandoning Ukraine and Europe and downplaying the Middle East to prioritize the Indo-Pacific is not a clever geopolitical chess move It is geostrategic self harm that emboldens our adversaries and drives wedges between America and our allies for them to exploit Colby will need to advance policies aligned with the president's recognition of U.S I hope he will come to appreciate the essential role our allies play in advancing our collective interests the urgent need for enduring investments in our national defense and the linked and simultaneous challenges we face Make no mistake: America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline."

He's also a good athlete who's fast and agile for a man his size. Unfortunately, he also has extremely short arms for a man his size -- 32 inches to be exact. That means he might not make it as a guard in the NFL. For him to succeed, he might have to move to center, and that's a move that could take years. Fortunately for Colby, the 49ers are extremely patient when they develop young centers. They've been developing Nick Zakelj since 2022. After the draft, general manager John Lynch was asked if he tried to draft an offensive lineman early or if he knew he'd have to wait to address the position. Lynch said that he certainly would have liked to take an offensive lineman earlier but that the draft board simply didn't fall in a way that allowed the 49ers to take one and they didn't want to force a pick, so they took other positions. This is a poor excuse. Teams are allowed to trade up and down in drafts, and the 49ers did neither. They stood pat every time. That's passive, not aggressive. Next year, the 49ers will have to draft multiple starting offensive linemen who can play right away. crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER.
