Latest PFF mock draft has 49ers making surprise pick in Round 1

The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft.

Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction.
Ward described White as a "hand in glove
