The San Francisco 49ers were among several teams to meet with Nebraska center Cam Jurgens, per Justin Melo of The Draft Network. The others include the New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Melo calls Jurgens "one of the top mid-round offensive line prospects" in the 2022 NFL Draft. The offensive lineman started every game at center for the Cornhuskers in 2021.
Jurgens is from Beatrice, NE. He earned a pre-draft grade of 5.83 from NFL.com, which equates to an "average backup or special-teams player," per the site's 8-point grading scale.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-3 and 303-pound Jurgens had a 40-time of 4.92 seconds and 25 reps in the bench press. Jurgens' other measurables include an arm length of 33 3/8 inches and hands measuring 10 inches.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Jurgens within his scouting report:
Center prospect with a lack of desired measurables and position versatility that could cap his draft value. Jurgens is quick with above-average athleticism but needs to harness his energy and play with better control in the early stages of the rep to improve his strike zone and success rate. He's a bit of a leaner in pass protection and could struggle to find his anchor against rugged bull rushers. He can play in a variety of run schemes but has average backup talent.

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft
Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team.
Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek
Ex-NFL WR advocates for 49ers to trade Brandon Aiyuk: "Let that man be free"
Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team. Of course, that could be a negotiating tactic from Aiyuk's camp as the 49ers work to sign the receiver to a contract extension.
That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized.

Updated list of 49ers draft picks in 2024 after NFL penalty
The NFL has penalized the San Francisco 49ers for payroll accounting errors that occurred at the end of the 2022 league year. This has led to the team forfeiting their fifth-round draft pick in 2025 and a reduction in their fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft.
San Francisco's fourth-round selection, initially No. 131 overall, now shifts down four spots to the end of the round at No. 135, following the compensatory picks from that round.
Despite this setback, the 49ers still possess 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft but will be short a pick next year. The team's selections in the upcoming draft are as follows:
Round 1, Pick 31 Overall
