As we shift our focus to the NFL Draft, diving in has been more difficult this year as the 49ers don’t have a selection until pick No. 61. Last year, you had your pick of the litter as the draft started at No. 3.
It was a foregone conclusion that Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson would wind up as the first two picks. The Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Justin Fields got us through April.
This time around, the 49ers could go in a number of directions with their initial pick. Edge rusher seems to be a popular pick, but I wouldn’t rule out safety or an offensive lineman.
