Niners are Eager to See Garnett Play and Improve
When Stanford's standout guard, Joshua Garnett, was evaluated by the analytic website Pro Football Focus before this year's draft, it was noted he had many pluses.Pro Football Focus noted his great ability as a run blocker, his ability to pull and move and his potential to be dominant in the NFL.The 49ers obviously concurred, moving up on the first day of the draft to select Garnett in Round No. 1.But halfway through his rookie season, Garnett has yet to make a huge impact on the 49ers offense. And part of that is because of a point Pro Football Focus made in its pre-draft evaluations, a downside among all the positives: "Doesn't always sustain blocks in pass protection; gave up more pressures than you'd like to see. … "The jury will be out on Garnett for a long while. The 6-foot-4, 312-pound rookie has had just two starts and played only six games, and got off to a slow start in training camp. While many expected Garnett to come out of camp as the opening-day starter at one guard spot, Garnett had to work his way into the lineup.It's possible that with increased playing time and experience, Garnett could have a strong second half and cement his spot in the lineup as a...

Malachi Corley has been likened to versatile San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel. What does Corley, the former Western Kentucky wide receiver, think about the prospect of joining Samuel and the rest of the 49ers' receiving corps?
It's a possibility. Corley is expected to be drafted in the second or third round this week and recently visited the team in Santa Clara. Could it be the 49ers calling his name?
"Put me out there with Deebo," Corley recently told Kay Adams on the "Up and Adams" show. "Deebo, left, Malachi, right, [Brandon] Aiyuk, [Christian] McCaffrey down the middle."
While 49ers fans hope to see Aiyuk remain with the team, negotiations for

We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are

We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates recently revealed a joint three-round mock draft, examining the top 100 selections and forecasting
