Daniel Jeremiah was on NFL Network's Total Access on Tuesday and was asked how many quarterbacks he envisions being first-round picks in April's draft. His answer was four ... with a possibility for one more.

Those four who Jeremiah sees as first-round locks are Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Jordan Love, and Justin Herbert. He explained why the San Francisco 49ers might be in a good position with their second of two first-round selections — the No. 31 overall pick.

"But I think a fifth could happen, and I will tell you exactly where it's going to happen," Jeremiah told Andrew Siciliano and Steve Mariucci. "That's the 31st pick. And it's not going to be the 49ers making that pick, but the 49ers trying to collect some extra picks they don't have in those middle rounds.

"I could definitely see that being a trade-up spot for some of those teams in Round 2, want to get that extra year on the contract, come up to 31, and get your quarterback there."

Which quarterback would warrant such a move by an NFL team? Jeremiah speculates that Jalen Hurts of Oklahoma or Jacob Eason of Washington could entice someone to trade back into the first round.

The 49ers acquired their higher pick, the No. 13 overall, via a trade that sent defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts. The team lacks a selection between rounds one and five, so acquiring more draft equity has to be a priority for the team, should it not find trade partners for players currently on the roster.

There was a report earlier this month that wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was the subject of trade discussions, and Matt Barrows of The Athletic this week discussed the possibility of a trade involving running back Matt Breida.

It sounds like there are several directions San Francisco could go to fill its Day 2 draft void.

With the initial flurry of free agency in the books, respected draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah unveiled his latest mock draft, projecting teams' potential moves in the 2024 NFL Draft. While many fans questioned ESPN analyst Mel Kiper projecting Washington offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten to the 49ers with the No. 31 overall pick, Jeremiah's choice for the Bay Area team may receive a warmer reception. Despite the Niners adding defensive ends via free agency, Jeremiah has San Francisco using their first-round pick to add former Penn State pass rusher Chop

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The team did not address the offensive line, and it's a safe bet they will do so with some rookie selections next month. The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver

The latest mock draft comes from Charles Davis, who has San Francisco addressing the offensive line, strengthening a unit that showed inconsistency last season. Davis predicts the 49ers will choose former Oklahoma tackle Tyler Guyton with their first selection. "The 49ers' offense will flourish as long as HC Kyle Shanahan is diagramming plays, and this agile former tight end has a chance to plug in
