The NFL's MVP, leading rusher and leading receiver have this in common: They were never placed in anyone's first-round mock draft.

The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions.
