The San Francisco 49ers are in a tough situation with the NFL Draft in 2023, as they do not possess their first or second-round picks, with their first selection not until pick #99.

However, the team does have 11 draft picks and is in a position to potentially add much-needed depth at several positions, while fortifying their roster for the future, making it an intriguing, but very important draft for the organization.

ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid recently conducted a seven-round, 255-pick mock draft where he made every selection for each team, including all of San Francisco's selections.

Here are the results:

No. 99: CB Jaylon Jones, Texas A&M

"The 49ers like long corners on the outside, and Jones is exactly that a 6'2, 200 pounds. He would thrive in a zone scheme that sprinkles in man coverage principles," Reid wrote.

No. 101: OT Nick Saldivieri, Old Dominion

"Right tackle is a weak point for the 49ers, with Mike McGlinchey having signed a high-price deal with the Broncos. Six-foot-six, 318-pound Saldivieri has the potential to step in and fill that void over time," Reid wrote.

No. 102: RB Devon Achane, Texas A&M

"This makes three San Francisco picks in the final four of this round, and the Niners could use this one on a versatile running back. Achane could be a nice fit in this offense. He rushed for 1,102 yards and had 11 total touchdowns this season," Reid wrote.

No. 155 (From MIA): S Daniel Scott, California

No. 164: EDGE D.J. Johnson, Oregon

No. 173: TE Payne Durham, Purduee

No. 216: LB Ventrell Miller, Florida

No. 222 (From DEN): OT Sidy Snow, Eastern Michigan

No. 247: WR Andrei Iosivas, Princeton

No. 253: CB Lance Boykin, Coastal Carolina

No. 255: WR/TE Elijah Higgins, Stanford

Things will change as the rest of free agency plays out. However, this mock draft tries to address the San Francisco 49ers' key needs and doesn't rely heavily on the moves that have already been made this week—just yet. This mock draft was created without heavily factoring in the trade for defensive tackle Maliek Collins, so it still includes 11 selections. Another mock draft reflecting the most recent roster changes is coming soon. Round 1, Pick 31 DT Byron Murphy II, Texas Although the 49ers addressed the defensive tackle position in free agency, Byron Murphy II may be the best player at the 31. Murphy II's quick burst and get-off makes him one of the most dangerous defensive tackles in the draft. He will impact the

49ers achieve "dream scenario" in latest PFF mock draft

By David Bonilla
Mar 11

While news of Arik Armstead's impending release could potentially alter the San Francisco 49ers' draft strategy, we'll first have to wait to see how the team addresses its defensive front in free agency. Assuming the 49ers brain trust has a plan in place and can execute it properly, that would leave them free to address the offensive line next month. In the latest mock draft by analytics site Pro Football Focus, the 49ers are projected to do just that, with former Alabama tackle JC Latham falling to them at No. 31 overall. "Admittedly, this is a dream scenario for the 49ers," analyst Dalton Wasserman wrote in the pre-free agency
