Golden Nuggets: Bring Pete Home
Two CBS Sports mock drafts have 49ers bolstering the D-line
“Josh Edwards has consistently mocked former Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Stewart to the 49ers with the 11th overall pick, a trend that continues in his latest mock draft.
“The interior defensive line has fallen off in recent years and an injury to Javon Hargraveexacerbated those issues,” Edwards wrote. “Shemar Stewart will hopefully reinvigorate that unit and give it some life alongside Nick Bosa.”
Meanwhile, Chris Trapasso envisions the 49ers addressing the edge position, projecting former Tennessee pass rusher James Pearce Jr. as the pick. Trapasso has consistently mocked Pearce to San Francisco since December.
