NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks projected former Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the San Francisco 49ers in
his latest mock draft. However, on
Path to the Draft, Rhett Lewis asked him to mock the 49ers' first three selections in next month's draft should the team go in another direction.
Here is how that mock went and what Brooks had to say about each selection. What is interesting is that he went with a different edge rusher at No. 2 despite
Nick Bosa going No. 3 overall in his latest mock draft after the 49ers selected Williams.

Round 1 (No. 2 overall): Edge Josh Allen, Kentucky
"They have to get an edge rusher — someone who can compliment Dee Ford off the edges. Dee Ford coming over, having 13 sacks, he's a dominant player, but let's find him a playmate, and I think that playmate could be Josh Allen from Kentucky. Here we have him listed at linebacker, but in essence, he's really an edge rusher. He's someone that's going to come off the edge; he's going to hunt the quarterback, had 17 sacks his final season in the SEC, Defensive Player of the Year, dominant player. You think about what they can do in nickel situations; you may have two players, a nice one-two punch off the edge."
Round 2 (No. 36 overall): WR Parris Campbell, Ohio State
"He is an impact playmaker, someone that you can give the ball on fly sweeps, bubble screens, still has the speed to take the top off the defense. And I really like that he's a natural pass catcher. I think he can be a nice impact player as their third wide receiver."
Round 3 (No. 67 overall): S Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Florida
"Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is a big nickel, meaning he's a guy that's kind of a hybrid. He can be a safety. He can be a nickel corner. But what I know he is, and that's a playmaker. He's a guy that can make plays in the slot. He will be around the ball. He's physical. He'll tackle. He kind of fits into the personality of this defense."

Six worst first-round draft picks in 49ers' history
It is less than two weeks away from the 2024 NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers finally have a first-round draft pick, after not having one the last two years. Who will they select? Will it be a defensive player? An offensive player? They could use help on the offensive line and in the secondary and defensive line. And they may also have multiple holes to fill a year from now.
Either way, the 49ers need to hit on these draft picks, especially in the early rounds, where they haven't always been at their best. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have some first-round misses, like DT Solomon Thomas and LB Rueben Foster. But are those the worst first-round picks in team history? Neither made this list, though some will argue that Thomas should be on it, mainly because he was taken
49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
