Let's do a mock draft for the 49ers first 3 rounds.
Round 1 - Trade pick #30 of round 1, pick #29 or round 2, and 2015 first round pick to Tennesse for pick #11, and pick #10 of round 6.
With pick #11 of the first round - Sammy Watkins - Wide Receiver, Clemson - The 49ers make a move up for an explosive playmaker. Experts compare Watkins to Torrey Smith of the Ravens and Percy Harvin of the Seahawks.
Round 2 - With pick #24 of the second round - Pierre Desir - Cornerback, Lindenwood - Desir put up a stand out performance at the Senior Bowl. At 6'1", Desir has experience in a variety of defensive schemes and finished his four year collegiate career with 25 interceptions.
Round 3 - Trade pick #13 of round 3, to Chicago in exchange for pick #18 of round 3, pick #17 of round 4 and pick #7 of round 6.
With pick #18 of the third round - Weston Richburg - Center, Colorado State - Like Desir, Richburg was a standout at the Senior Bowl. The 6'3", 300 pound center had scouts buzzing with his toughness and will provide competition for the starting center job.
With pick #30 of the third round - Anthony Johnson - Defensive Tackle, LSU - Will push Quinton Dial for a spot in the defensive line rotation.
With pick #36 of the third round - Donte Moncrief - WR, Mississippi - As a 21-year-old rookie Moncrief will have time to develop and compete with Jonathan Baldwin for the final WR spot on the 2014 roster.
