2021 NFL Draft: 5 prospects 49ers should watch early on

Is it too early to start thinking about which players the San Francisco 49ers should target in the 2021 NFL Draft?

Of course not. In fact, given the high level of uncertainty the Niners face following their upcoming 2020 season, it might be wise to start some early speculation about the prospects who could potentially be on general manager John Lynch’s radar a little less than a year from now.

As things stand now, San Francisco owns six picks in the 2021 draft after trading away a third-round selection to the Washington Redskins in exchange for veteran left tackle Trent Williams last April.
