Each week leading to the draft, we'll look at a collection of mock drafts from various sources and compile the list of the top prospects projected to head to the 49ers.
We surveyed 58 online mock drafts this week and tallied which prospects are the most popular choices for the San Francisco 49ers, who currently own the No. 2 overall pick in next month's draft. The mock drafts include big-name sites like ESPN and NFL.com to smaller independent sites.
Former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has recently become the overwhelming favorite to go No. 1 overall to the Arizona Cardinals. That has catapulted former Ohio State edge rusher Nick Bosa to become the overwhelming favorite to land with the 49ers.
Below are the top-ranked projections for the 49ers among the mock drafts we examined.
