NFL.com's Three-round Mock Draft
Draft Analyst Chad Reuter released his first multi-round mock draft of the year, predicting the first three rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft in April. While the full list of free-agent compensatory picks has not been released from the league yet, Reuter used Lance Zierlein's projections from last April and added four additional picks to the end of the third round for franchises losing minority employees to head coach or general manager positions throughout the league. Here's who Reuter selected for the 49ers. 👇
Round 1 | Pick 12
Caleb Farley - CB
School: Virginia Tech | Year: Junior (RS)
"Starting corners Richard Sherman and Jason Verrett will be free agents in March. Farley's versatility would allow the 49ers to play him outside or at safety if they require help there in the future."
Round 2 | Pick 43
Josh Myers · C
School: Ohio State | Year: Junior (RS)
Round 3 | Pick 103
Payton Turner · Edge Rusher
School: Houston | Year: Senior
