49erInTheMidwest Mock 2.0 - 1 week out

This draft has no trades, I went for the "get your guy and don't f*ck around approach. Let me know what you think

Rd 1, pick 9:

Harold Landry, Edge, Boston College
- Twitch, bend, dip, change of direction, hand placement. Getting our pass rusher early, time to get off the fields on 3rd down.



Rd 2, pick 59:

Austin Corbett, OL, Nevada
- Nasty, strong big bully. Would step in immediately potentially and start. Would give this line some cajones to pop Suh in the mouth.



Rd 3, pick 70:

Fred Warner, LB, BYU
- Range, coverage, downhill and sideline to sideline speed, smart, high character. Love Fred Warner, I really think this guy could be the steal of the draft



Rd 3, pick 74:

Quenton Meeks, CB, Stanford
- our type of CB, he'd be a great Sherman project. Coach him up and let him try to take over for Sherm eventually.



Rd 4, pick 128:

DaeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn St
- Swift and Shifty. Good luck covering this guy off the line. Absolutely and Shanahan WR. Another potential steal of the draft type of guy



Rd 5, pick 143:

Will Clapp, OL, LSU
- Versatile lineman who can slide around a be a plug and play type of guy. Moves well and would be a good scheme fit.



Rd 6, pick 184:

Christian Sam, LB, Arizona St

A tackling machine, but also good in coverage. I think he would be a great player in this system. Insurance for The Foster fallout. I think he and Warner could run things and be very good.



Rd 7, pick 227:

Christian Campbell, CB, Penn St
- Another double dip. This guys is exactly what we're looking for. Been a big fan of his since I first watched him. Long, physical, and a leader. Sign me up. Let him compete with Meeks. May the best man win.





Rd 7, pick 240:

Jordan Wilkins, RB, Ole Miss
- One of my draft crushes. Not really on anyone's radar, but this guy is a great zone fit. His hips are smooth like butter, and he isn't afraid to lower his shoulder.

Wouldn't be mad at all with this!

This is what I'm expecting from the first four picks, except swap G in the second for T. I think they want to grab a tackle there.

And the player I have in mind kind of makes me puke.

Who are you thinking?

Landry, Meeks, Warner, and a scheme-fit OL. Nice job. I've got these same in my mock, and I agree with Hero....I have an unfortunate sneaky suspicion that we're going with an athletic tackle from this class.

I like this mock very much!

Dig it all, especially for no trades

Hearing the #49ers are having a pre-draft visit today with athletic Pittsburgh offensive tackle Brian O'Neill (6-7, 305), who declared for the draft after first-team All-ACC junior season.https://t.co/p1nn3QErv1

I have a feeling it's going to be more offensive than everybody thinks. Kyle was irritated last year. And didn't get to start drafting players he wanted till the 5th round. I think the first and second round are probably going to be defense but then mostly offense after that

Beathard and joe williams were his picks. Arguably our worst two picks

I love it...would have no issues. Well done.

oh this makes me smile

Nicely done. Great draft if it falls this way.

Yeah and I wonder when he was allowed to start drafting I believe it was the fifth round. I believe Kyle is going to get some picks aerlier this year. And he should
