Niner Noise mocks out all seven rounds for the San Francisco 49ers in the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft. Which prospects do the Niners land in this final look?

The San Francisco 49ers will use the first of nine picks when the 2018 NFL Draft kicks off on Apr. 26.

General manager John Lynch could go one of many different directions with that first pick, which garners the most attention, of course. But as we saw a year ago, the ability to hit on later picks is just as important.

2018 will be a bit different.

Unlike last year, the Niners’ 2018 needs aren’t quite as deep as before. The team has its quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, and there wasn’t the wholesale aggressiveness in free agency this year as there was the previous offseason.

While there are still plenty of holes for Lynch to fill, they’re not as widespread for Lynch this season. That makes Lynch’s job easier, in some cases, but more difficult in others.

Niner Noise dishes out a final mock ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft. Using Fanspeak’s On the Clock tool, we break down each one of San Francisco’s selections in the upcoming draft. For the sake of clarity, no trades will take place.

So, after the first eight picks are in the books, the San Francisco 49ers are now on the clock at No. 9.
