Mop Drafts from top experts like USA Today, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and others are buzzing with predictions on how they'll build depth. Seems like the 49ers often trade down for more picks when they mistop targets, and General Manager John Lynch confirmed they passed on a couple guys they wanted. Their defense struggled last year, finishing dead last in sacks, with Nick Bosa and Mikel Williams recovering from torn ACLs. Offense needs weapons too, even after signing Mike Evans. Experts see them grabbing edge rushers early to boost that pass rush, like Clemson's TJ Parker or Missouri Zion Young at number 33.
