49ers out-of-the-box 7-round 2020 mock NFL Draft

As discussed earlier, the 49ers know the value of a strong, deep offensive line. So, they decide to stock up by grabbing one of the most versatile offensive linemen in the draft in Tremayne Anchrum of Clemson.

San Francisco 49ers

Anchrum was a three-year starter at one of college football’s greatest programs at Clemson, where he played offensive tackle. He started all games in Clemson’s championship season in 2018, as well as in their runner up season in 2019. However, most scouts see him as transitioning to guard in the NFL.

This makes Anchrum the perfect fit for the 49ers since he can play all along the offensive line. He will be a perfect backup offensive lineman for San Francisco. With injuries to the O-line last season, the 49ers had to rotate in multiple backups throughout the season and recognize the value of an experienced, versatile lineman.

Anchrum is an experienced offensive lineman, who has the versatility to play wherever injuries might create a need for him. By grabbing him, the Niners can continue to shore up one of the NFL’s best units.

In this out-of-the-box mock draft, the 49ers spend their early picks to stock up on both sides of the line rather than a receiver. They then grab a tight end to complement George Kittle, followed by a cornerback in the fifth. Next, they grab another edge rusher to potentially add to last season’s elite pass rush, before finally grabbing a wide receiver and then finishing up with a versatile offensive lineman.

None of these moves are the most conventional expectations for San Francisco in the 2020 NFL Draft, but all of them could make sense and benefit the team in 2020. We’ll have to tune in on April 23 to see if the Niners make any of these out-of-the-box moves.
