49ers 2021 NFL Draft live tracker, reactions and updates
By Peter Panacy
It’s finally here: the 2021 NFL Draft, and Niner Noise has all your 49ers draft action covered with our live tracker updated with each pick.
After months of waiting, San Francisco 49ers finally know which prospect their team selected at No. 3 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Niners made themselves the talk of the draft by moving up to this spot from No. 12 overall, and there’s never going to be any shortage of discussion points when a team aggressively trades up like this.
Especially when it’s for a quarterback. And San Francisco’s new signal-caller will hopefully define a generation of 49ers football for many years to come, ultimately replacing Jimmy Garoppolo, who could be on the move this weekend.
Yet that was only the first of nine total picks general manager John Lynch had at his disposal entering the draft. But as previous years have shown, Lynch is no stranger to trading around throughout the draft, so one might expect some movement and additional shockers between now and when the final pick is announced on Saturday, May 1 when the draft concludes.
Niner Noise already gave you a primer, breaking down all the storylines you’ll want to know heading into the draft. Aside from the obvious “which quarterback do the Niners take at No. 3?” discussion, there are plenty of other potential developments which guarantee to make this year’s draft provocative from San Francisco’s vantage point.
Which non-quarterback prospects will the 49ers target? Who winds up being that sleeper steal on day three? Those are just some of the storylines we’ll try providing you throughout all three days of the draft.
So, be sure to stick right here and follow along live throughout the 2021 NFL Draft as we track and break down each of the Niners picks in our live draft-day tracker.
