It’s time for another mock NFL Draft! Niner Noise predicts what the San Francisco 49ers will use their draft picks on this year — and what trades they’ll make.

If there’s one thing San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch is known for, it’s making trades.

The NFL world was shocked when Lynch famously (or infamously, to Bears fans) fleeced the Chicago Bears to move down one pick in the first round just over a year ago at this time.

And, of course, nobody can forget when Lynch traded this year’s second-round pick for a franchise quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo.

So for this mock draft, I want to sprinkle a couple of trades in to spice things up. Since trading in the late rounds is close to irrelevant in my eyes, I’ll keep this mock to four rounds.

Here goes — hopefully I can be as good of a trader that Lynch is in this mock.
