How is the DL fine? Its Bosa, a regressed Floyd and a bunch of replacement level guys. DT is a giant gaping hole. They can't stop the run to save their lives.

They went from Buckner, Armstead and DJ Jones inside to....

Not sure how anyone can think our DL is fine considering what we've seen out of it for years.

Then you look at what the Rams did in just 2 short years and totally rebuild theirs into a dominant unit and that was WITH Aaron F'ing Donald retiring!

We need our DL to be a terror again. As much as I want to protect Brock I'm more confident with us winning games when our DL is feasting. Brock has shown he can work with so so OL play.

Just need to replace Banks and Brendel but do need a plan for the future without Trent and McKivitz(replacing him now would be great too tho)

Very much unlikely that he falls to 11 but if so I'd run the card up ! I think he's going to be a monster in the league. I'd even trade our comp 3rd to much up to snatch him.

How far can we move up with our comp 3rd?

Him and Carter would be the ones I would trade up for

In a draft really weak at QB...probably about 8.

I can dream, but I don't see him getting past Baalke at 5. Maybe a player with an ACL tear will catch Baalke's eye instead, hopefully.

My thought exactly, I can see 2 QBs, 2 DBs ( maybe 3 if Starks lights it up ) 2 Ts, 2 DEs going b4 him.

Reading Vrabel will probably take him. Smart.

Got dayamn. I'd put this dude at 2i in the Niners' scheme and immediately improve the run defense while also improving the base pass rush by getting Graham and another quality DL at 3 technique. I hope teams overthink this dude like I'm starting to see on twitter.

Guess it depends on Barmore's health. They need an OT in the worst way. They also got cash to spend. Milton Williams might look good there.

I agree. Put him next to Bosa to eat double teams and Bosa will feast,

Then grab a guy with explosion like TJ Sanders in round two and our interior is fixed.

I really hope we sign Dayo Odeyingbo too. He's a problem on the edge (at 6'6,290 and he can move) and can bring what Armstead brought. Base end to set the edge and move inside and bring in Floyd in the nickel.

5T- Dayo Odeyingbo / Leonard Floyd
2T- TJ Sanders / Malik Collins
NT- Mason Graham
9T- Nick Bosa

Graham is a no brainer pick for 49ers but zero chance he falls to us

trading up is a bad move, we already lost so much capital from Lance trade

not sure we would need to trade up to 3 to get him, but if we can move 1 or two spots maybe

PFF, nfk, cbs all have him going 5

I throw in both 3rd round picks and 2026 pick to move up.

glad those mocks are not perfect.. but still, if he gets close to 11 i would try my hardest without giving up too much
