That slim pickings for a team looking to build. General manager John Lynch made it clear on Monday he wants to snag more selections, likely by trading down from that late first round spot if a deal pops up. This draft feels thin. With fewer than 20 players on their board graded as true first rounders, putting them in a tough bind at the end.

He hasn't blown up as their top receiver yet, and with the Niners and Win now mode, they can't afford to burn picks on reaches. That said, if a legit first round talent slides

1:05to 27, expect them to pounce. Cornerback Jermad McCoy fits the bill. He was a top 10 projection before a knee injury sideline to him all of 2025. The Niners love betting on injury rebounds.

Round 1 kicks off at 5 p.m. Pacific time, so keep your eyes peeled on how the board shakes out, and what moves they make to stack this roster right.
