2017 NFL Draft: Full 7-Round Mock for the San Francisco 49ers
By Peter Panacy
The San Francisco 49ers hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and will have a total of 10 selections when the draft rolls around late April. Niner Noise offers you a full, seven-round mock for San Francisco.
The San Francisco 49ers are in full rebuild mode, searching for a new general manager and head coach.
And with the 2017 NFL Draft a few months away, it’s almost impossible to speculate just how the Niners will wind up filling their draft board leading up to April. We have zero clue who the main targets will be and how the front office will go about planning a future for this franchise via the draft.
Still, we can speculate on needs and prioritize them into rounds. San Francisco has plenty of those needs too.
From quarterback, inside linebacker to even cornerback, the Niners could use help.
The 49ers already have 10 picks, including the No. 2 overall pick to start the draft. In addition, it’s likely they’ll receive one compensatory pick — probably a Round 4 selection — for a net loss of qualifying free agents.
Let’s assume the comp pick falls in Round 4 this year and draw up a mock for San Francisco using this information. While trades are a real possibility, let’s also grant the Niners stay put in each round.
Starting off with the No. 2 overall pick, the 49ers are officially on the clock.
