Well, this is a new look.

The San Francisco 49ers are using some rather interesting (if that is the correct word to use here) new padded helmets for offensive and defensive linemen during practices. The team kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) this week, and Tuesday's session represents one of three practices that the media will be able to observe.

Matt Barrows of The Athletic posted the following video of the linemen's new headgear, most likely meant to minimize potential injuries.


Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area provided a better look at the helmets.


San Francisco endured numerous injuries last season, which resulted in just six wins as a follow-up to the team's Super Bowl appearance the season before.

The other practices open to the media will be on Wednesday, June 2, and Tuesday, June 8.

Barrows' colleague, David Lombardi, posted the following video of the 49ers quarterbacks — Jimmy Garoppolo, Trey Lance, Josh Rosen, Nate Sudfeld, and Josh Johnson. Obviously, COVID protocols prohibit reporters from being too close to the players.


The plan is to enter the 2021 season with Garoppolo as the starter. That will allow Lance, the No. 3 overall pick, to sit and learn the playbook. The battle for the third quarterback job will be between Rosen, Sudfeld, and Johnson.

Below are some other random videos from practice.

The San Francisco 49ers are widely expected to fortify the trenches in this week's draft, utilizing some of their 10 selections to add to the offensive and defensive lines. According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, the team recently welcomed two Texas A&M linemen for pre-draft visits: Layden Robinson, an offensive guard, and McKinnley Jackson, a defensive tackle.

As customary, NFL teams engage in preliminary discussions about potential draft trades during owner meetings.

General manager John Lynch addressed reporters on Monday and acknowledged the wide range of possibilities. However, he noted that any potential discussions about trading spots with other teams will likely intensify later in the week. "It's going to be an interesting year," Lynch stated.

I was just looking at my notes and one interesting thing to me, dynamic, and the way of the world right now, we put a grade on players in the fall if we think

49ers add pass rusher in new 7-round mock draft

By David Bonilla

Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team revealed his latest mock draft, which goes seven rounds deep and projects every selection for every NFL team. While most predict that the San Francisco 49ers will add an offensive lineman with their first selection, No. 31 overall, Mosher has the Bay Area team going in a different direction. The writer and analyst has the Niners selecting former UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu in the first round. "It wouldn't be a shock to see Laiatu Latu fall in the draft due to his medical history, but he is too good of a value to pass up here at No. 31," Mosher wrote. "The San Francisco 49ers have been searching for the right pass
