The NFL Scouting Combine kicks off this week. San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch will speak with reporters on Tuesday. Unfortunately, his team lacks a first- or second-round pick, making predicting what San Francisco might do in the NFL Draft in April more challenging.
Typically, it would be mock draft roundup season. However, fewer mock drafts extend beyond the first round. Below are some projections regarding what Lynch and the Niners might do with their first handful of selections from those who chose to create three-round mock drafts.
San Francisco's first selection is expected to be No. 99 overall, the first of three third-rounders the team is currently predicted to own. All three are compensatory picks for other teams' hirings of former 49ers coaches and executives Robert Saleh, Martin Mayhew, Mike McDaniel, and Ran Carthon.
The official draft slots for the 49ers' compensatory picks have not yet been announced, so some slot numbers below vary slightly.
Wake Forest wide receiver A.T. Perry is the only player who appears more than once between the mock drafts. The 6-foot-5 and 206-pound wideout surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his last two seasons, accruing 2,389 total yards and 26 total touchdowns while averaging 15.7 yards per catch during his 2021 and 2022 campaigns.

49ers bolster D-line in latest NFL.com mock draft
While most expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman with their first-round pick, NFL Media lead draft writer Eric Edholm has the team going in another direction with the No. 31 overall pick. In his final mock draft of the year, Edholm has the team selecting former Illinois defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton, who also goes by "Johnny."
"If you're worried Newton's skill set overlaps too much with that of Javon Hargrave, consider that Hargrave is set to hit the salary cap at more than $28 million in the 2025 season -- when he'll be 32 years old," Edholm explained. "As a relentless scheme-wrecker, Newton would help alleviate the

NFL Nation mock draft sees 49ers pivoting after run on tackles

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to address their offensive line with the No. 31 overall pick, marking the team's first first-round selection since 2021. Nick Wagoner, acting as general manager John Lynch, had to adapt his plan based on earlier selections taking several offensive tackles off draft boards.
With those options gone, Wagoner opted for former Missouri pass rusher Darius
