Each week leading to the draft, we'll look at a collection of mock drafts from various sources and compile the list of the top prospects projected to head to the 49ers.
We surveyed 68 online mock drafts this week and tallied which prospects are the most popular choices for the San Francisco 49ers, who currently own the No. 2 overall pick in next month's draft. The mock drafts include big-name sites like ESPN and NFL.com to smaller independent sites.
Despite the recent discussion surrounding former Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams being a strong option for the San Francisco 49ers at No. 2 overall, former Ohio State edge rusher Nick Bosa remains the overwhelming favorite for the team. Nearly 71 percent of the online mock drafts surveyed have the 49ers selecting Bosa with their top pick.
Below are the top-ranked projections for the 49ers among the mock drafts we examined.
| Rank | 49ers' Pick |
| 48 Mock Drafts | Nick Bosa, Edge, Ohio State |
| 11 Mock Drafts | Josh Allen, Edge, Kentucky |
| 8 Mock Drafts | Quinnen Williams, DL, Alabama |
