We’ll head to the big guns with today’s mock draft and you don’t get much bigger than Mel Kiper. He put together a mock draft on ESPN that has some of the familiarity with picks you’re used to, but there’s one thing in his analyses we can consider. The article does require ESPN+ to read to completion, but you can read up on the first two picks in the preview portion—another benefit of the 49ers drafting at No. 2.
So as we said, familiarity. Kiper mocks Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa to the Arizona Cardinals and Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen to the San Francisco 49ers.
