The first three rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft are in the books, and the San Francisco 49ers have added three offensive players and one defender. The team made quarterback Trey Lance of North Dakota State the No. 3 overall pick on Thursday night.
On Friday night, the Niners traded back in the second round, eventually selecting offensive lineman
Aaron Banks of Notre Dame. Later, in the third round, the team traded up to select running back Trey Sermon of Ohio State and then used its compensatory pick on cornerback
Ambry Thomas of Michigan.

Are these the 49ers' ideal top 2 draft picks?
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, NFL Media draft analyst Chad Reuter recently identified the ideal top two draft picks for each team. The San Francisco 49ers have 10 selections in the upcoming draft, with their first two picks at No. 31 overall and No. 63.
Reuter noted, "I kept some semblance of realism in this process, however, assigning each player only once and making reasonable projections of where prospects may be selected."
