San Francisco 49ers: 7-round mock for 2018 NFL Draft, version 2.0
By Peter Panacy
In the wake of linebacker Reuben Foster’s last arrest, Niner Noise dishes out yet another San Francisco 49ers mock for the 2018 NFL Draft over all seven rounds.
It’s the offseason, meaning all the talk surrounding the San Francisco 49ers will focus on team needs, free agency, contract re-signings, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and the 2018 NFL Draft.
That is, of course, if there aren’t any off-the-field concerns, which there are.
Linebacker Reuben Foster’s second arrest in less than a month’s time creates some serious worry. This time, it’s on charges of domestic violence and possession of an assault rifle. The Niners are playing the waiting game here, but it does change what general manager John Lynch’s plans may be this offseason.
The arrest likely affects the draft too. So with that as a backdrop, Niner Noise dishes out yet another seven-round mock for San Francisco as we near draft day in late April.
To do this, we used FanSpeak’s On the Clock simulator, which has the 49ers winning a first-round coin toss and picking at No. 9 over the Oakland Raiders (No. 10). Here are the selections, and we’ll break down each on the following slides:
Now let’s dive into each of the picks, shall we?
