San Francisco 49ers Mock Draft Roundup 6.0
Throughout the year and leading up to the 2021 NFL draft, we will update our San Francisco 49ers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the San Francisco 49ers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.
For a more inclusive lists of mock drafts for the San Francisco 49ers, check out our 2021 San Francisco 49ers Mock Draft Database.
The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the 49ers:
EDSFootball - Hanson (3/5)
12. Kwity Paye, EDGE, Michigan
Not only is Paye an outstanding run defender, but his elite athletic profile (previously topping Bruce Feldman's freaks list) gives him enormous upside as a pass-rusher.
ESPN - McShay (3/4)
Nick Wagoner on his fit with the 49ers: Jones would likely arrive as the understudy to incumbent Jimmy Garoppolo. I expect a setup similar to what the Chiefs did when they had Alex Smith and drafted Patrick Mahomes in 2017. The goal would be to allow Jones to learn and develop for at least a season while Garoppolo continues to start and bolsters his value back to a point where the 49ers would have a difficult decision to make after the 2021 season.
CBS Sports - Trapasso (3/3)
12. Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama
The Athletic - Beat Writers (3/1)
12. Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
Touchdown Wire - Farrar (2/26)
12. Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
Few NFL executives understand the value of a field-tilting safety better than 49ers GM John Lynch, as Lynch was one for a number of years. And at this point, with the two best cornerbacks in this class gone, the 49ers might want to avail themselves of the best safety in the 2021 class. That would be Trevon Moehrig, the most recent winner of the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the top defensive back in college football every year.
Moehrig spent equal time in the box, in the slot, and at free safety last season in TCU's split-field coverage, and he was an eraser wherever he lined up. In three seasons with the Horned Frogs, Moehrig allowed 49 catches on 96 targets for 533 yards, 253 yards after the catch, five touchdowns, seven interceptions, and an opponent passer rating of 54.7. Moehrig can do everything from stopping run fits to rolling to the deep third with ease, and there's Defensive Rookie of the Year potential here in the right scheme.

12. Caleb Farley, CB, Virginia Tech
