49ers Draft Alabama Studs, Boost Offense

0:00It's April 7th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The San Francisco 49ers sit with late picks in the first two rounds, numbers 27 and 58. Spots where they've nailed Talon. Before to plug holes now and later. In Nick Bongardner's latest mock draft from The Athletic, he goes all offense, grabbing two Alabama studs, offensive tackle Kate and Proctor Ed. 27th then receive a Dremey Bernard at 58. Proctor stands 6 foot 7, 352 pounds, the most impressive build in this class with all pro upside if he tightens his game. He's inconsistent in past protection right now, so he'd likely learn behind Trent Williams as the future left tackle air, maybe starting a guard, or sitting a year before owning that blindside spot. Fans and analysts see Bernard as smart depth, a 6 foot 2, 206 pounder who hauled in 64 catches for 862. Yards and 7 scores last season.

1:01He'd slot in as WR-4 behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearson, and Christian Kirk, but rise quick once he proves it, turning into an offensive staple down, the line. No third rounder after that. OSA ODGZUA trade hurts, but this duo still shapes a strong two round haul for the Niners heading into 20. 26th with picks like these, San Francisco stays loaded on offense, building that Dynastie vibe one smart selection at a time.
