Mock draft season has drawn to a close, with NFL Media analysts Charles Davis (here) and Daniel Jeremiah (here) submitting their final projections yesterday. Several other media members have since unveiled their last mock drafts, presenting the San Francisco 49ers with various potential scenarios.
Predicting the 49ers' actions in the first round is challenging due to the 30 selections preceding theirs. Their draft strategy hinges on events leading up to their turn on the clock.
As the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off tonight, here's a rundown of what the 49ers are projected to do at No. 31 overall in some of the final last-minute mock drafts.
Dane Brugler, The Athletic Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
Brugler: "Morgan would have the versatility to move inside to guard while also being the team's eventual answer at left tackle whenever Trent Williams, who is entering his age-36 season, decides to hang 'em up."
Sikkema: "The Niners reportedly held a formal visit with Legette at the scouting combine and also brought him in for a top-30 visit. This could open up the door for a Brandon Aiyuk trade."
Talbot: "I think the 49ers are a perfect fit for the big Arizona offensive lineman."
Lance Zierlein, NFL Media Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
Zierlein: "Height, weight and speed. Admittedly, there is still work to do for Mitchell to reach his potential, but this is a perfect team fit. Plus, San Francisco could have starting spots open sooner than later."

Early ESPN 2025 mock draft projects 49ers bolstering defense
By David Bonilla

Last week, ESPN analyst Jordan Reid unveiled an early look at the 2025 NFL Draft, presenting one of the first mock drafts for next year's event. At first glance, San Francisco 49ers fans might be excited to see their favorite team selecting at the No. 32 overall pick, signaling a projected Super Bowl victory. However, Reid notes that the draft order was based on Super Bowl odds from ESPN BET, with San Francisco currently holding the best odds (+500).
Reid also acknowledges that he hasn't extensively evaluated the prospects expected to be part of next year's draft class, stating, "This is super early. I
An Arsenal of Weapons: The 49ers Have Quietly Become Even More Dangerous on Offense in 2024

It's not a shock to anyone who looks back at the past two NFL seasons to contemplate that the San Francisco 49ers' offense has finally stepped out of the shadow cast by the team's ever-imposing defense. Since their 2019 Super Bowl run, players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and former 49ers Richard Sherman and Jimmie Ward have garnered most of the attention when talking about the team. That was indeed the case until 2022, when future Hall-of-Fame running back Christian McCaffrey, who came to San Francisco in a mid-season trade with the Carolina Panthers, changed the conversation. The 49ers' offense was suddenly seen not just as a semi-capable complement to a sterling defense, but rather as a unit that could put up some points, and in a dramatic way.

Dre Greenlaw believes he is making significant progress on his road to recovery from the torn Achilles he sustained in the second quarter of the Super Bowl.
"It's coming along," Greenlaw shared last week with NBC Sports Bay Area. "It's a long, slow process that you just kind of gotta be ready for every day to wake up and attack whatever it is that I'm trying to work on. And for me, that's, right now, just the strength and the mobility, just trying to get good range of motion in it."
Greenlaw isn't predicting a potential date for his return to the football field. He aims to rejoin his teammates early in the upcoming season but will be wise with his recovery. The linebacker has no
Jeremy Fowler names 49ers pick as biggest head-scratcher of the draft
By David Bonilla

ESPN's experts recently evaluated the best and most questionable moves of the 2024 NFL Draft. According to reporter Jeremy Fowler, one of the most puzzling decisions was the San Francisco 49ers selecting a wide receiver instead of upgrading their offensive line. Like many others, Fowler was surprised to hear Ricky Pearsall's name called with the No. 31 overall pick.
"I'm not about to doubt coach Kyle Shanahan's eye for offensive skill players, and I love Pearsall as a player," Fowler explained. "But his place as WR6 in this draft was unexpected. Most teams I spoke to pegged him as a Day 2 pick. Considering the 49ers still
