The San Francisco 49ers are in a tough situation with the NFL Draft in 2023, as they do not possess their first or second-round picks, with their first selection not until pick #99.
However, the team does have 11 draft picks and is in a position to potentially add much-needed depth at several positions, while fortifying their roster for the future, making it an intriguing, but very important draft for the organization.
ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid recently conducted a
seven-round, 255-pick mock draft where he made every selection for each team, including all of San Francisco's selections.
Here are the results:
No. 99: CB Jaylon Jones, Texas A&M
"The 49ers like long corners on the outside, and Jones is exactly that a 6'2, 200 pounds. He would thrive in a zone scheme that sprinkles in man coverage principles," Reid wrote.
No. 101: OT Nick Saldivieri, Old Dominion
"Right tackle is a weak point for the 49ers, with Mike McGlinchey having signed a high-price deal with the Broncos. Six-foot-six, 318-pound Saldivieri has the potential to step in and fill that void over time," Reid wrote.
No. 102: RB Devon Achane, Texas A&M
"This makes three San Francisco picks in the final four of this round, and the Niners could use this one on a versatile running back. Achane could be a nice fit in this offense. He rushed for 1,102 yards and had 11 total touchdowns this season," Reid wrote.
No. 155 (From MIA): S Daniel Scott, California
No. 164: EDGE D.J. Johnson, Oregon
No. 173: TE Payne Durham, Purduee
No. 216: LB Ventrell Miller, Florida
No. 222 (From DEN): OT Sidy Snow, Eastern Michigan
No. 247: WR Andrei Iosivas, Princeton
No. 253: CB Lance Boykin, Coastal Carolina
No. 255: WR/TE Elijah Higgins, Stanford
