During each week leading to the draft, we have been taking a look at a collection of mock drafts from various sources and compiled the list of the top prospects projected to head to the 49ers.
We surveyed a whopping 84 online mock drafts this week in our final roundup and tallied which prospects are the most popular choices for the San Francisco 49ers, who currently own the No. 2 overall pick in this week's draft.
The mock drafts include big-name sites from ESPN and NFL.com to smaller independent sites.
Despite a little recent controversy surrounding his social media activity, it's not surprising to still see former Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa as the favorite to land in San Francisco after the 49ers turn in their draft card on Thursday. Over 82 percent of mock drafts envision Bosa headed to the 49ers as final mock drafts are turned in, which is an increase from the 74 percent last week.
