Bye Week Mock Draft

Update with current prospect projections:

FA:
Parris Campbell, WR
Chase Young, DE
(Kenny Moore, NCB - Cost dependant)

Trades:
Trade Danny Grey + 2025 5 for 5

Draft:
1 Terrion Arnold, CB - Eventual Charvarius Ward replacement

2 Tyler Guyton, OT - Doubt he's here, but there's 5 OT prospects likely to be selected before him, and a handful more regarded in the same range as prospects. Guyton is a very high upside RT with high end size and athletic traits.

3 Jackson Powers-Johnson, OC - Center of the future. Stock should explode after athletic testing at combine.

3 Kiran Amegadjie, OL - Immediate competition for starting RG. Tangibles to be maybe be considered for OT after Trent retires.

4 McKinnley Jackson, iDL - Space eater in the run game with potential to be a pocket pusher in the pass game.

5 Kitan Oladapo, S - Well rounded safety for added depth with Gipson phasing into retirement.

5 Jaylan Ford, LB - Strong chance to supplant Dee Winters as LB3 right away.

5 Jasheen Davis, EDGE - Favorite value prospect in the class. Samson Ebukam type.

6 Dylan Laube, Return Specialist - Primarily a return specialist but with the utilization potential of a poor man's CMC.

7 Zach Heins, TE - Capable pass-catching weapon without being a liability as a blocker.

7 Frank Gore Jr, RB - An obvious choice.

2025:
1 Xavier Nwankpa, S - Talanoa Hufanga prices us out and deservedly gets the bag somewhere else, so we replace an all-pro with an even higher ceiling prospect.

2 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE - Chase Young was a one year deal, and we boost his value beyond what we can afford in the long run. I have my concerns with Princely's motor (albeit small sample size of limited viewing and TV broadcast only) but he sets a hard edge and has bend and explosiveness that leans toward the rare side for people his size.

3 Dontay Corleone, NT - We need to continue bolstering depth behind an aging Armstead and Hargrave. Remember that Kinlaw, Givens and Kalia are likely all gone by now.

3 Elic Ayomanor, WR - Big (6'2.5", 210 lbs) long WR. Quick feet, used as a slant merchant. Hands catcher. Physical. Explosive transition from catcher to runner. Not a burner, but average CBs have a hard time recovering when beat thanks to long strides. Was much too big and strong for Travis Hunter to handle.

4 Damon Payne Jr, DT - See above. Corleone more of a run stuffer / pocket pusher. Payne more of a penetrator.

Slight modification after the ravens game for the following reasons:

1. Cb play has been much improved and we still have unknown talents in Womack and Luter.

2. Based on current draft projections, its unlikely Terrion Arnold makes it to the end of the first.

3. I'm not risking Tyler Guyton not making it to the end of the second - we badly need to upgrade McKivitz (what a terrible game!), Guyton is a great prospect, and the drop off is steep after him.

1 Tyler Guyton, OT
2 Jackson Powers-Johnson, C
3 Kiran Amegadjie, OG
3 Max Melton, CB
Pretty much, everyone who is going to declare has done so. 2 year plan:

FA:
Paris Campbell, WR - speed, WR3/4
Leonard Floyd OR Chase Young, DE - short-term EDGE oppo Bosa

Trade Danny Grey for a 6
1 Tyler Guyton, OT - McKivitz replacement
2 Jackson Powers-Johnson, OC - Brendel successor
3 Kiran Amegadjie, OL - Burford upgrade
3 Max Melton, CB - Charvarius successor
4 Jaylan Ford, LB - LB depth
5 Jordan Jefferson IDL - Kinlaw replacement
5 Kitan Oladapo, S - Safety depth
6 Dylan Laube, Return Specialist - Rayray replacement
6 Evan Anderson, NT - Missing piece
7 Zach Heins, TE - potential TE2/3
7 Frank Gore Jr, RB - future 49er legend
2025:
1 Xavier Nwankpa, S - Hufanga replacement
2 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE - Chase/Floyd successor
3 Elic Ayomanor, WR - WR3
3 Jasheen Davis, EDGE - EDGE depth
4 Damon Payne Jr, DT - Kevin Givens successor

I'm just going to use this thread to chronicle my thoughts. Lot coming out about Guyton elevating his stock all the way potentially to OT3. If thats the case, someone's gotta drop. Here's an alternate 2 year mock:

2 Kiran Amegadjie, OL
3 Ja`Lynn Polk, WR
3 Max Melton, CB
4 Jaylan Ford, LB
5 Jordan Jefferson, IDL
5 Javon Solomon, EDGE
6 Dylan Laube, Return Specialist
6 Evan Anderson, NT
7 Zach Heins, TE
7 Frank Gore Jr, RB
2025
1 Xavier Nwankpa, S
2 Parker Brailsford, C
3 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE
3 Jasheen Davis, EDGE
4 Derrick Canteen, CB

2024
1 Amarius Mims, RT (T. Will before a PhD in OL play)

4 Mekhi Wingo, DT
4 Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE
5 Hunter Nourzad, OC
6 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S
6 Dylan Laube, KR
6 Myles Cole, DE
6 Evan Anderson, NT
7 Isaac Guerendo, RB
7 Zach Heins, TE

UDFA: Ryan Flournoy, WR
UDFA: Trente Jones, OL
UDFA: Davius Richard, QB
2025
1 Xavier Nwankpa, S (Hufanga replacement)
2 Ajani Cornelius, RT (Mims replaces Trent eventually)
3 Elic Ayomanor, WR (comp: Slant Boy Michael Thomas as a Deebo replacement)
3 Aireontae Ersery, OL (compete with Trente for RG/swing)
4 Jasheen Davis, EDGE

Brock Purdy
Trent Williams | Aaron Banks | Hunter Nourzad | Jon Feliciano | Amarius Mims
Christian McCafferey | Kyle Juszczyk
Brandon Aiyuk | Deebo Samuel | Roman Wilson | Juaun Jennings
George Kittle | Brayden Willis | Zach Heins

Nick Bosa | Arik Armstead | Javon Hargrave | Jonathan Greenard | Drake Jackson | DJ Jones | Mekhi Wingo | Marshawn Kneeland | Myles Cole | Evan Anderson | Kalia Davis

Without trades:

Key FA: Jon Greenard, DE
1 Amarius Mims, OT
2 Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE
3 Max Melton, CB
3 Renardo Green, CB
4 DeWayne Carter, DT3T
4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S
5 Hunter Nourzad, OC
6 Ryan Flournoy, WR
6 Jalen Coker, WR
6 Evan Anderson, DT
7 Zach Heins, TE

Worried at LB still. If Mims (or fautanu, Barton, etc) aren't there, maybe trade down for Kiran Amegadjie and try to recoup enough to grab Edgerrin Cooper some how..
