One great thing about being a football fan at this time of the year is reading up on NFL mock drafts from fellow writers and contemporaries. This year's draft should focus more on depth because the San Francisco 49ers do not have glaring holes on their roster.
The Niners may want to address offensive tackle and outside-linebacker since Mike McGlinchey left for Denver and Al-Shaair Azeez is now in Tennessee. In addition, San Francisco will look to add another tight end to their roster just in case George Kittle gets hurt. Adding depth in the secondary would help.
I will not predict trades or player movements for my first mock draft. Instead, I will project who the 49ers might draft at their current slots. The NFL Draft will be held from April 27-29, but the 49ers must wait until day two to make their first pick.

Written by:Sports has been my first love since I was 12 years old. At one point I wanted to play football professionally. I started to take photography as a hobby in my teenage years but this was when I followed sports. I started to listen to sports radio, I found my true calling and it was to be a sports talk show host. Though I follow football and basketball, I started to have a new love of cultures around the world. After graduating from San Antonio College in 2018, I worked for the Castroville News Bulletin before going to A&M San Antonio to get my communications degree. Since I have written for the Ranger of San Antonio College, the News Bulletin and the Mesquite of Texas A&M San Antonio, I met many people and went to a lot of events. My major milestone was being in the press box of the San Antonio Commanders game for the Mesquite and being apart of a press conference with the Medina County Sheriff and other local news outlets. When I am not doing anything, I like to watch old cartoons on the DC Universe, play video games such as Mega Man and the Mass Effect series. I have also created Youtube channel called "Anger Management" with my friend Aaron Donnell.
