  1. Well I for one would love this draft.
    A guard like that would give sf a people mover, Derrick Moore and Zane Durrant would give SF a very good pass rush rotation.
    Hurst has significant upside overall and is someone who can stretch the field.
    York gives the team an intense, fast flowing, sure tackler.
    Delp is an solid all around TE with upside as well imo.

    The others I dont know as well.

  2. I've said it a few times, but this team needs to add elite talent, not a bunch more solid guys. Maybe the guys in this mock are elite, but I think starting the 49ers draft at the end of the 2nd round is the approach to use to add depth.

    1. While we may slightly disagree on this.
      If you really want an elite guy I just dont see 20 elite guys in this class.
      Mendoza, Love, Bain, Bailey, Downs, Tyson, Reese, Delane, Tate, Sediq, Styles, Iaone, and Terrell are my only elite type players.
      I just dont see sf being able to trade up for any of them save maybe a LB or Iaone.
      Who are your Elite guys and which ones do you think could fall to SF or within range of a trade up?

    2. I got 12 "elite" players in this draft.

    3. Every year there's a list of "elite" talents, of which maybe 50% end up being good, in a good year. And there's guys drafted later that end up being great.

      I'm not trying to predict who the elite players are with this comment. I'm outlining that the chances of finding an elite talent increase the higher you pick. Trading back from 27 to 58 decreases the chances of getting an elite player. It's the strategy you use if you are looking to add depth and some solid starters to the roster.

      Sometimes that strategy works out great and you find elite players anyway, as well as having additional picks to find solid starters. Sometimes you get 2022 and 2023 drafts.

    4. FWIW, the 49ers history of drafting under ShanaLynch strongly suggests they don't like moving out of the first round, in fact are more likely to move up, and very much do have a belief in looking to add top end talent with their first round picks (albeit not with great success rate). Only times they've not picked in the first round was when they used those picks to move up to #3 overall.

    5. This is the last draft I'd try and trade up from 27. I'd rather have the extra darts for this draft, but especially next years.

    6. If that's the case, then I think it becomes even more incumbent to try and add at least 1 elite level talent in FA.

      And even so, I highly doubt the 49ers trade out of round 1.

  3. Somewhat lengthy, but this is Steve Young's concern for the 49ers in the off-season.

    Steve Young's Offensive Line Insights
    Goal: Top-Tier Unit: Young wants the 49ers to return to their 2019 offensive line level, which he described as one of the best in the league, in the top three.
    Current State: San Francisco's pass protection was inconsistent in the 2025 season, ranking 18th in the NFL with a 67.0 team pass-blocking grade. The struggles were particularly evident in their playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
    Trent Williams' Future: Young noted that relying solely on veteran left tackle Trent Williams, who will be 38 years old before the next season and is nearing the end of his career, is not a sustainable strategy.
    Investment Need: He believes the 49ers front office, which has historically neglected investing heavily in the O-line, needs to spend "big bucks" to secure the line's future.
