The 2017 NFL Draft is a mere week away and as such I put together my 3.0 mock for all seven rounds of the 49ers picks.
Some trades were made as I saw fit to help the team with the immense rebuild that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are tasked with.
Without further ado, here it is.
Trade with the New York Jets – 49ers send #2 overall for New York’s #6, #39, #70, and #150
Trade with the Baltimore Ravens – 49ers send #39, #70 from New York and a future 2nd round pick for Baltimore’s #16
Trade offered and accepted with the Denver Broncos – 49ers send #16 for Denver’s #20 and #126
Trade with the Cincinnati Bengals – 49ers send #34 and #202 for Cincinnati’s #41 and #116
First Round: # 6 (From NYJ) – Solomon Thomas – Edge – Stanford
First Round #20 (From DEN) – Reuben Foster – LB – Alabama
Both first round picks should be opening day starters on a defense that needs a serious infusion of youth and talent.
