In some ways, it’s more fun to look back at what the San Francisco 49ers did in the NFL Draft over the years in relation to mock drafts dished out weeks, sometimes even months before.
Or a year out, which is the case for Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Hanson, who dished out a way-too-early 2021 mock NFL Draft for Round 1. And while fans are probably glad to be rid of all those mocks for 2020, it’s never overly too soon to start thinking about what could happen a year from now based on what we know from teams’ current situations.
