Niners Mock Draft: Urgent Offensive Reload

0:00It's April 3rd. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI. The San Francisco 49ers came up short last season, missing the NFC West title by one game and flaming out in the divisional round. Now with some roster holes up front, CBS Sports dropped a fresh seven-round mod draft that's all about reloading the offense. They grabbed six picks, five on that side of the ball across wide receiver, line, running back, tackle, and tied in spots. Coming into the 2026 offseason, General Manager John Lynch and Coach Kyle Shanahan added vets like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, two, spark things up. But they lost receivers Kendrick Bourne and Jawan Jennings, and tied in George Kiddles dealing with an Achilles tear that could sideline him early. Fans and analysts see the pressure after that week 18 dud against Seattle's defense and the playoff exit. The offense just couldn't move the chains when it mattered, so this mock screams urgency to protect the quarterback and get playmakers in space.

1:01Josh Edwards loaded up Round 1, pick 27 with Texas NM Whiteout KC Concepts Yone, a six-foot 196-pounder with over 2,000 receiving yards, and 25 scores in his career. Round 2 brings UCF Ed Rusher Malachi Lawrence for some past rush pop. Then it's a Round 4 frenzy, Michigan State interior lineman Matt Gobern. With 52 starts, Kentucky-back Seth McGowan, who rushed for nearly 2,000 yards, Memphis Tackle Travis Burke at 6-foot 9 and Baylor, tied in Michael Trigg for receiving help. These moves could juice the Niners' attack right out the gate, setting up a run at that division crown come fall.
