I like it. We need an overhaul on the Dline.

I'm hoping we sign a DT in free agency (Milton Williams) and then we can use 2.43 on a few safety which is a huge need.

Updated, no trade mockdraft.

Still predicated on signing a center in free agency (Dallman), and hopefully a tightend (Tremble) and FB/OW (Skowronek). Wouldn't mind a big name corner (Reed/healthy Samuel Jr) and definitely need to get Greenlaw back. Fingers crossed for a day 2 return on a Deebo trade as well (not likely, but why else would a pre-draft trade be imminent?). I'll take a Jahdae Barron or another EDGE if that's the case (David Walker is one of my favorite prospects in the class, or id also like someone who can potentially hold up as a 3-down end rather than a DPR)

1 Armand Membou, RT
Why he might not be there: Potentially the top OL in a draft where teams in the top 10 need OL help, and theres a lack of bluechip talent at other positions.
Why he might be there: Teams might have arbitrary thresholds where players of his stature (6'3") are automatically seen as a guard, and off the board entirely as a viable OT.

2 Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE
Why he might not be there: Bendiest, craftiest most refined edge rusher in this class.
Why he might be there: lacks the elite explosiveness you ideally want at the position in an undersized package that leaves questions about the strength profile and ability to hold up as a 3-down edge defender.

3 Darius Alexander, DT
Why he might not be there: Dude is well put together, and has had a really nice pre-draft process.
Why he might be there: Very old prospect in a class deep at the position

3 Omarr Norman-Lott, DT
Why he might not be there: one of the most explosive IDL in the draft class.
Why he might be there: very low snap count in college will leave teams with questions.

4 Anthony Belton, OL
Why he might not be there: massive human with all of the length and strength you'd expect of someone his size, but with athleticism of someone a little bit smaller.
Why he might be there: Will likely need to start his career at guard before attempting to develop into a viable tackle.

4 Jamaree Caldwell, DT
Why he might not be there: Rare smoothness for a 335lb nose tackle.
Why he might be there: he's a 335lb nose tackle.

4 Dante Trader Jr, S
Why he might not be there: well rounded safety talent, comps favorably to Jimmie Ward.
Why he might be there: tested as average of an athlete as there is.

5 Michael Mayer, TE
Ok, so I cheated and did a trade. But at least I didn't project a draft pick that doesnt actually exist.

6 Darien Porter, CB
Why he might not be there: 6'3". 33+" arms (!!!!!!). 4.30 forty. 1.49 10yard split. 36.5 vert. 10'11" broad. 6.71 3C. 4.04SS. Absolute freak. Standout production on special teams. Unafraid to use his size vs the run
Why he might be there: old prospect, 6th year senior. New to the position with only 1 year of starting experience, primarily in zone only. Zyon McCollum, another freak athlete, went 5th round, so there is precedent of teams letting the freakiest of freaks drop on draft day. (6'2" 199 lbs. 4.33 40, 1.46 10, 39.5 vert, 11' broad, 6.48 3C, 3.94SS). Gat damn. Tariq Woolen, another freak athlete at the position, also a 5th round pick. (6'4" 33+" arms. 4.26 40. 1.49 10. 42" vert)

7 Tyreem Powell, LB
Why he might not be there: toolsy LB with 35" arms
Why he might be there: a name that is not getting any buzz during the draft process. An Achilles injury really sapped him of speed and explosiveness, and so judging solely off recent game tape, he appears to lack the athleticism of a starting line backer. Requires hope that another year removed from injury allows him to return to the sideline-to-sideline star that he was shaping up to be prior.

7 Glendon Miller, DB/ST
Why he might not be there: primarily a back of roster, special teams talent.
Why he might be there: primarily a back of roster, special teams talent

7 Ricky White III, WR/ST
Why he might not be there: A discount Luther Burden
Why he might be there: Pretty heavily discounted, with most value coming at special teams early in his career.

Sign me up all day for this

K, officially I am trading our newly acquired 5th round pick to the Raiders for tight end Michael Mayer

Sign me up for that too

Not really getting dropping Maliek Collins, but they clearly want a total reset on the DL, and no way they don't look to completely revamp it immediately.

FA: DJ Reed, Dre Greenlaw, Jonathan Allen
1 Mason Graham, DT
2 Jaylen Royals, WR
3 David Walker, EDGE
3 Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE
4 Anthony Belton, OL
4 Chase Lundt, OL
4 Jackson Slater, OL
5 Aeneas Peebles, DT
6 Jamaree Caldwell, DT
7 Tyreem Powell, LB
7 John Sauders Jr, S

In my mind, officially a rebuild. I was holding out hope for Jonathan Allen, but now i see no avenue towards putting a competitive roster out there this year. With that thought process, he's my bigboard for pick 11:

Abdul Carter Jr, EDGE
Mason Graham, DT
Shemar Stewart, DE
Armand Membou, OT
Trade Down
Jahdae Barron, DB
Joshua Simmons (healthy), OT
Will Johnson, CB
Malaki Starks, S
Jihaad Campbell, LB
Will Campell, OL
Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE
Mike Green, EDGE
Kenneth Grant, DT
Ashton Jeanty, RB
Derrick Harmon, DT
Kelvin Banks Jr, OT

Actually really liking this all-oregon strategy

12. Derrick Harmon, DT Oregon
43. Josh Connerly Jr, OT Oregon
75. Jordan Burch, DE Oregon
76. Oluwafemi Oladejo, DE UCLA
100. David Walker, EDGE Central Arkansas
113. Jeffrey Bassa, LB Oregon
138. Jamaree Caldwell, DT Oregon
157. Seth McLaughlin, IOL Ohio State
160. Aeneas Peebles, DT Virginia Tech
208. Thor Griffith, DT Louisville
227. Glendon Miller, ST/DB Maryland
249. Tyreem Powell, LB Rutgers

Dane Brugler dropped his 7 round mock draft. For the 49ers, it's not dissimilar from my earliest of mock drafts.

• Round 1, Pick 11: Shemar Stewart, DE, Texas A&M
• Round 2, Pick 43: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
• Round 3, Pick 75: Anthony Belton, OT, NC State
• Round 3, Pick 100: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
• Round 4, Pick 113: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami
• Round 4, Pick 138: Bilhal Kone, CB, Western Michigan
• Round 5, Pick 147: Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon
• Round 5, Pick 160: Jackson Slater, G/C, Sacramento State
• Round 7, Pick 227: Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech
• Round 7, Pick 249: Max Brosmer, QB, Minnesota
• Round 7, Pick 252: Elijah Simmons, DT, Tennessee

I mostly like it. While I also have Damien Martinez, RB pegged as a perfect fit and a likely shanahan crush, I'd rather go a different direction positionally, even though I also agree there is room for RB on the roster given injury-related uncertainties. Not sure who was on the board, but if I can get a designated pass rusher like a David Walker here, I'd feel better about the roster going into this year. Then, I'd take more of a nose tackle type more suited to be a reliable run stopper from day 1 in the 4th or 5th instead of Tez Johnson. If the board is thinning out, go in the 4th and see what CB is there in the 5th. Can still get a body at RB in the 7th instead of QB. I understand trying to draft in the 7th the UDFAs you're targeting anyway to guarantee the selection without a bidding war, but you can get a QB prospect of that caliber, or maybe even him, after the draft.

Day 2 wish list:

2 Darius Alexander
3 Omarr Norman-Lott
3 Anthony Belton

Day 3 wish list:

4 David Walker
4 Nohl Williams
5 Jordan Phillips/Jamaree Caldwell
6 Thomas Perry
7 Nick Martin
7 Glendon Miller

Hasn't been a bad draft by any means, just not a exciting one.

Day 3 wish list:
4 David Walker, EDGE
4 Chase Lundt, OT
5 Aeneas Peebles, DT
6 Thomas Perry, OC
6 (Trade) Jackson Slater, OG

Other players i wouldn't mind seeing drafted by us today:

Ty Robinson, DT
JJ Pegues, DT
Jordan Phillips, DT
CJ West, DT
Jalen Royals, WR
Jaylin Lane, WR
Jalin Conyers, TE
Marcus Mbow, OL
Cameron Williams, OL
Joshua Gray, IOL
Drew Kendall, IOL
Dante Trader Jr, DB
Glendon Miller, DB

Good draft all around. I'll give it a solid B. Not the flashiest or most exciting, but a solid attempt at rebuilding the foundation of our roster. Williams and Collins in particular are high floor players with solid upside. They didn't completely swing for the fences with the first two picks, but these aren't low ceiling players by any means. I do question the lack of attention at OL...I'm not one of those guys who was cursing lynch and Kyle in every round for looking elsewhere positionally, and while I would have definitely preferred an OL over a wide receiver in the middle rounds, I would have been fine with waiting until the 7th or even UDFA to throw some darts at the board. Not expecting year one starters is fine, but to seemingly be waiting until the cupboard is completely bare before attempting to look at the position isba failure to plan for the future, imo, and how we ended up needing to dedicate an entire draft to the DL this year. If our picks on the DL don't work out, we're in trouble again. My grade: B.

Hindsight Mock Draft:
1 Shemar Stewart, DE
2 Darius Alexander, DT
3 Nohl Williams, CB
3 CJ West, DT
4 David Walker, EDGE
4 Marcus Mbow, OL
5 Jeffrey Bassa, LB
5 Jackson Slater, OL
7 Brashard Smith, RB
7 Logan Browns, OT
7 Hollin Pierce, OT
