49ers take 2 Alabama players in new mock draft
The 49ers could dip into the Alabama prospect pool twice in the 2026 NFL draft.
The San Francisco 49ers have two late picks in each of the first two rounds at Nos. 27 and 58. It's a position the team is familiar with, and one where they can still trust themselves to find quality talent that fills positions of need both in the immediate and long-term.
The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner went with an all-offense approach in his newest mock draft. He landed on Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor with the No. 27 pick before taking Crimson Tide teammate Germie Bernard, a receiver, at No.
58. The most physically impressive human in this draft class, Proctor (6-7, 352) has rare body control for his size. Physically, he has All-Pro potential.
On the field, however, he can be inconsistent in protection and might need a year on the bench (or some time at guard) before being trusted as a blindside protector. Proctor would effectively be looked at as the heir to Trent Williams' role on the offensive line. He's a true left tackle with ample college experience at a big program, but lacks some of the fundamentals that some believe are necessary to be an immediate starter.
