NFL.com’s five-round mock has the 49ers waiting on edge — again
NFL.com mocks the 49ers two tackles and an edge rusher, but is this the right haul?

Only time will tell if the 49ers lean on logic or natural tendencies. NFL. com’s Chad Reuter put together a five-round mock draft , with trades for this week.
The 49ers were not on the trade block for any of the picks, staying at No. 27. With their pick, they took an offensive tackle, but not the one we have been talking about.
Instead, they go with Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor: Even if the 49ers and Trent Williams come to an agreement on a contract restructure for 2026, the veteran left tackle will be 38 when the season starts. Iheanachor played on the right side at Arizona State but lined up on both sides at East Los Angeles College. He possesses the athleticism to be an excellent pass protector on either end of San Francisco’s O-line.
