Given the Deebo news, I had to create another mock plan that forecasts a trade. Two things Shanalynch will optimize for:
(1) assets to immediately replace Samuel in this year's draft
(2) draft picks in 2023 to recoup on the Lance trade
With that...here's my new mock
NFL Draft:
49ers trade Deebo Samuel, 3rd, and 6th round picks for Jets two 2nd, 3rd, 4th (via MIN) and 2023 2nd and 4th round picks.
- For SF, it equates to a top 12 pick in 2022 and likely an early/mid 2nd in 2023. Gets Deebo in the AFC and closer to home.
- For NYJ, they finally get a lethal WR weapon. They will trade down from #10 to recoup some of the loss picks in '22 and '23.
R2: Christian Watson - WR - NDSU (via NYJ)
*Height, weight, speed prospect that could be a future #1 target. Strong ties with Lance. Replaces Deebo.
49ers trade 2nd (via NYJ thru CAR) and 3rd (comp) for the Falcons 2nd and 3rd (via IND) picks. ATL trades up to snag WR or QB.
R2: Nick Bonitto - EDGE - Oklahoma (via ATL)
*Dee Ford 2.0. Elite speed to be a constant threat in the passing game. Emerging skills in the run game.
R3: Cole Strange - C/G - Chattanooga (via NYJ)
*Day 1 starter at either RG or C depending on Mack's status for the 2022 season.
R3: Nick Cross - S - Maryland (via ATL)
*Rangy safety that can play FS or SS. I could see him playing some NB in certain packages ala Honey Badger.
R4: Jelani Woods - TE - Virginia (via NYJ thru MIN)
*6-7 height with 4.6 speed will add a new wrinkle to our offense. Kittle may see more time in a Deebo role with Woods at TE.
R4: David Bell - WR - Purdue
*Poor man's Kupp or Boldin, Bell adds an intermediate and slot weapon to our roster. He's going to be a 3rd down machine for Lance.
R5: Neil Farrell - NT - LSU
*Didn't test well at the combine, but reminds me of a larger DJ Jones. Adds much needed beef to our iDL unit.
R6: Damarion Williams - S/CB - Houston (comp)
*Projects as a slot CB, but could play some S in our scheme. ST upside. Falls due to lack of size and blazing speed.
R6: ZaQuandre White - RB - South Carolina (comp)
*Lightning in a bottle but highly undisciplined runner. Good receiver, and could battle Wilson for the final RB depth spot.
R7: Cole Kelley - QB - SE Louisiana (comp)
*Developmental PS candidate.
Post Draft Trades:
- 49ers trade Jimmy Garoppolo for 2023 conditional pick (2nd, 3rd, or 4th)
- 49ers trade Ebukam for Dolphins 2023 conditional pick

I like everything but the first pick. I actually like him a lot as a receiver. But if you trade Deebo any receiver that you pick with the first pick will be compared with him and will have too much pressure. And they both have issues with drops Deebo And Watson
