Cle (trade from SF): Round 1 Pick 31 (31) - Grant Delpit, FS/SS, LSU
SF (trade from Cle): Round 2 Pick 9 (41) - Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBgWXBu9iVE
SF (trade from Den): Round 2 Pick 14 (46) - Cesar Ruiz, C/OG, Michigan
SF (trade from Cle): Round 3 Pick 10 (74) - Antoine Winfield Jr., FS/SS, Minnesota https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vhPQwCfwrs

SF: Round 7 Pick 3 - Rodrigo Blankenship, K, Georgia
SF: Round 7 Pick 31 - Carter Coughlin, OLB, Minnesota https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO0II8fHLaY

Tell us what you think!

Sorry not trading 13 if Jeudy is there. I think there will be better options than Igbinoghene, 41 seems a little early. IMO Ruiz is gone by 46. Maybe flop Ruiz and Igbo.
Like Winfield, at 70 may be optimistic, most mocks have him in the second.
I like Evans and like the Gibson pick but not sure why everyone has him going so late. I think he's a 4th round guy.

Biggest needs are WR,OL,and CB IMO. In the best WR draft in recent memory we only get Gibson?
That's a hard pill to swallow for me. OL players you selected are solid, CB is ok, rather see him in the third.

Thanks for the reply. btw, cool username giving props to Tom Rathman...

We get your point of not trading 13 with Jeudy there, however, the niners need picks bro, plus this draft is undeniably Deep at WR. We feel that there are good receivers to be had all throughout the draft. And, you gotta remember, we do have Jalen Hurd and Trent Taylor coming back next year in addition to Deebo, KB, and newly signed FA Travis Benjamin. So only picking Ginson, who is a hell of a talent is not as far fetched as you make it out to be.

As far as your claim of Igbo being a reach, we tried to get the best CB available at that pick. We were lucky in that mock draft scenario that Ruiz fell to us only 5 picks later in the early second round, and that Winfield was still there in the 3rd round. You cant knock us for how that turned out!

We also feel you with Evans in that he's a diamond in the rough, and we have no idea why he's projected to be picked late as he plenty of potential. scary speed and great vision!

Where's the love for our K selection with Rodrigo Blankenship???? LOL
But seriously though, Dude's a beast and has made many high-profile kicks in tense situations against some of the best teams in the nation! We're gonna need a future replacement for Robbie Gould at some point.

again, thank you for replying, send some of your fellow niners fans our way to check out and comment on our mock draft!

Thanks for the Rathman props, he's one of my all-timers. And with SF that's a tough list.

Wasn't trying to knock you on Winfield. I like quite a few of the players you selected, just have guys I prefer in those spots.

Re:K,uhh......ummmm. Guys named Pinion and Wishnowski kinda ruined me for kicked before UDFA.

We would never wait that long to get a receiver. I don't know if Ruiz will last that long but the trades had some good value nice work

Agree with elgaupo. You nailed it with the trades and most of the position picks, but your player values are off. Niners will likely take two WR's this year, and defnitely will not wait until the 6th round. Wouldn't waste a pick either on a kicker this year after Gould got his act together in the second half of the year. Like the pick of Ruiz, but he won't be there at 46. Need to find an alternative there.

Tell us what you think!

I like this draft a lot based on the guys you get but I think you're getting some guys way after they actually come off the board come the real thing - Ruiz, Winfield, Gibson will be gone by when you have them IMO.

Also not getting a WR out of this draft class when we have so much uncertainty is a major mistake IMO. I just don't see that happening. And no I don't think Gibson addresses WR.

To get kinlaw? I'm good. Jeudy or bust

Our window is now. Kinlaw will not make enough impact to replace Buckner and get us the ring. s**t he might not even start. We need someone to get us over the hump. Walking in with kinlaw no Buck we'd be a worse team

Buckner for anyone we draft at 13 makes us a worse team. The reason we traded him wasn't to get someone better or more impactful - it was to free up cap space and get a rookie who can contribute (but not necessarily an All-Pro).

Kinlaw has a better chance at starting than a rookie WR we draft at 13 who won't have much time to develop chemistry with Garoppolo this offseason.

Jeudy is better than Bourne, and Goodwin. Kinlaw we don't know if he's better than what we have. So your good with dline like what 5 years in a row first pick? We need an offensive weapon period.

Kinlaw is better than Solomon Thomas or DJ Jones.

If Armstead stays at DE, we don't have much talent on the interior of our DL. Kinlaw may be our best DT while Jeudy is very likely to be our #2 WR and #3 target after Samuel and Kittle.

Kinlaw's ceiling as a player is also much higher than Jeudy's.
