During each week leading to the draft, we will look at a collection of mock drafts from various sources and compile a list of the top prospects projected to head to the 49ers.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy of Alabama was the clear favorite last week to land with the San Francisco 49ers at No. 13 overall among mock drafts. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma, who was the leader during version 1.0 of our roundup, has caught up to Jeudy, tying the Alabama product for the lead. Most mock drafts have San Francisco bolstering its receiver group with its first selection following the departure of veteran Emmanuel Sanders, who signed with the New Orleans Saints.
The 49ers own two first-round picks. In addition to the No. 13 overall selection, which it acquired via a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco also holds its original pick at No. 31.
We surveyed 54 popular mock drafts this week for our third roundup and tallied which prospects are the most popular choices for the 49ers at each spot in the first round.
The mock drafts include big-name sites from ESPN and NFL.com to smaller independent sites.
It is important to note that some mock drafts have not been updated in the past month. Therefore, they do not include the 49ers' No. 13 overall pick. Some mocks have San Francisco trading one of its two first-round picks, which is noted below.
