As expected, mock drafts have been flowing, with several positions being projected to the 49ers as they look to shore up the remaining few holes on their roster. A majority of those mocks have included an offensive lineman, defensive lineman, or wide receiver heading to the 49ers, which makes sense given the state of those positions. The 49ers still have yet to find a future replacement for Trent Williams, who is in the midst of a contract renegotiation with the 49ers and is 38 years old.

They are also looking to add to the competition at left guard, so it seems plausible that they draft a potential future left tackle that could slot in at guard in Year 1. San Francisco could also use another edge rusher. Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams are both coming back from torn ACLs, and the latter could be used as more of an interior pass rusher on passing downs.

The team hasn’t replaced Bryce Huff, who retired this offseason, and could use another force that improves a pass rush that ranked No. 32 in the nation last year. As for wide receiver, the Niners did make a couple of moves there, signing Mike Evans and Christian Kirk.
