San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert had six carries for 58 yards with a touchdown and added two receptions for 42 yards against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. The rushing score helped the 49ers defeat the Broncos 24-15.
Mostert's outing was good enough to earn him the team's top offensive grade from analytics site Pro Football Focus.
The top overall 49ers grade, however, went to defensive end Damontre Moore. He recorded three total pressures, which included a hit and two hurries, in 10 pass-rush snaps (15 total snaps) before exiting the game with a dislocated thumb.
Moore may have earned San Francisco's top grade, but two Broncos graded higher. They are linebacker Bradley Chubb (94.2) and CB
Isaac Yiadom (92.5), who had an interception off of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. WR Emmanuel Sanders, like Moore, earned a grade of 89.5.
Below are the five 49ers players on offense who earned PFF's top grades against the Broncos.
- RB Raheem Mostert (86.2)
- WR Kendrick Bourne (80.1)
- C Wesley Johnson (75.9)
- TE Kaden Smith (75.8)
- WR Deebo Samuel (74.0)

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
PFF identifies 49ers draft fits in Day 2 and 3
The San Francisco 49ers have experienced success in the latter two days of the draft, discovering hidden gems capable of becoming key contributors.

PFF high on this cornerback for 49ers in mock draft
Analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic grades former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa as a second or third-round draft pick and ranks him 55th overall on his big board. Pro Football Focus, however, holds a higher opinion of the young defensive back. In his latest mock draft, the site's lead analyst, Sam Monson, has the San Francisco 49ers selecting Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"T.J. Tampa fits the prototype of a 49ers cornerback," Monson explains. "He has had consecutive seasons of very impressive play and allowed just 240 yards on 49 targets last season. The team doesn't necessarily need him to make an immediate impact, but they could
