Welcome back to with the first pick where we're going team by team to build the perfect seven round mock draft and today breaking down the San Francisco 49ers their biggest needs best fits and sleeper picks that could make their draft. I'm Ryan Will Smith's former Titans GM ran cart on before we get going here. Let us know in the comments 49ers fans who you want to see San Francisco target at pick number 27. All right. Let's deal with Striker. Let's build the perfect 49ers draft. As I mentioned, the 49ers are picking 27th overall. They have six total picks. They've added wide receivers Mike Evans and Christian Kirk traded for Osa Diggie Zua with the defensive lineman and finally they are going to at some point move on from Bayonet Yook and we'll see what that looks like for his future. This team ever came in. A ton of injuries last season's ran and they're poised to make another deep playoff run. Let's help them out and do that starting with pick 27 here and by the way as you look at this best name, best available on the old bigboard here. I'll let you know that in a three-round mock draft I did.

I had him taking Caleb Lomu in round one, the tackle out of Utah and then your guy Devon Moore, the cornerback at pick 58 out of Florida on the outside. But this is your day. Kane Proctor Stairness of the face as a T.J. Parker. They have two edge wrestlers coming off ACLs, I believe. Mikel Williams and Mr. Bosa. Dins of Boston's there. I mean, any number of directions we can go. Yeah, can we scroll up real quick? I just want to see how this, no, no, I'm sorry for the draft that's. Yeah. I just want to see how this is going. Dylan Thenderman keeps going top 10. He went to the Bengals at 10 in this pick in this draft. Thanks, Mr. Fino. I went before CC my own Noah. C.J. Allen went 13th. That feels not realistic, but again, I'm not the robot making the picks. Okay. Blake Miller's finally getting some love. Mark Cooper goes a 26 to the Bears, another interesting pick.

And then Cassius, how goes the pick ahead here at 2026. It's used me to the bill, 25 of Mark Cooper to the to the Bears. Cassius, how goes to the bills at pick 26. So here we are, pick 27. I'd say, I have their, their, like, understanding that they're going to get something done with Trent Williams, who probably has a year or two left, Colton McIivitz is still there. I think they do have a need at guard. I just don't think you take that at 27. You mentioned having the two guys coming off at ACL, then you still have my man Sam. Oh, they traded for Keon White. I still think you need juice off the edge. So that's why I think you go T.J. Parker here. All right. Let's do it. T.J. Parker. And this is layup Chris Brasile. I'm not even thinking, thinking twice about it. Pick 58, Chris Brasile is available. So that gives you a legit, deep, no, don't apologize.

Many other things you should apologize for, not that. Next up, pick 127 or now around four. And let's see here because they have optanced out going into year two. They have a diameter or a lot more really good. They gave them a big deal not too long ago at one line back, one corner back. Excuse me, we're not a green at the other. I mentioned all that because I'm looking at Ticario Davis, the long corner out of Washington. And I would consider that here. What are some other positions you're looking at here, Rand? You mentioned the guard. You want to look at guard? Yeah, let's look at guard. And then we also need to look at safety. Jeremiah Wright, both Stevens. These are all around the range where I'd have them. I'm RJ Reed Adams around the range I would have him. I would wait a little bit on Jaden Roberts, but I like him. So those are options there.

And let's look at safety real quick, Striker. Those are interior offensive lineman and then safety. We have. So Michael Taff, a little high for me here. Same with Jalen Strollman out of Notre Dame. Cole was Newsky. Same with him out of Texas Tech. All right. Well, let's go back to best available. And let's just let's just pull the corner here. All right. Ticario Davis. Fourth round. And then we pick again to pick one thirty eight. I imagine one of those guards are going to be there. So let's look at the guards. Yeah, you even. Three of the next seven picks. Three of the next seven. And then we'll be done. So all we have are three. Fourth round picks to go. And that's a wrap. PFF. We've done a million of these. They don't like him at Johnson. He is still available. I don't know. With. Christian McCaffrey Jordan James. Isaac Arendo. Patrick Taylor. I mean, you talk about outside zone and image Johnson. Being a perfect fit. Just something to keep in mind. You know, he's not necessarily in our radar.

You know. So I would target probably. Any of these guys, both Stevens out of Iowa. Jeremiah right out of Auburn. I'm RJ Reed Adams. I'd text a name if you want. If you're looking for. So can you just read me read me what you have on both Stevens. Both Stevens is going to be. He's going to be his own. Blocking. He's got shorter arms. Let me find it real quick. So that's a concern. So both Stevens arm length is thirty one and five eights. He's six five three thirteen. He's 23 years old. Didn't allow sack the last two seasons. Winds with leverage and power and have heavy hands. Excuse me. High in player in both gap and zone running schemes. Occasionally he's a reanker against. Bull rushes from defensive lineman. Limiting experience. In executing plays in the screen game. Didn't do a lot of screen stuff for me. Yeah. For what I saw. Let's just go both Stevens. Let's go.

All right. Two more fourth on picks one thirty eight. Does uh does image Johnson. Took a year. Yeah, I mean what we got the next two picks. Okay, and let's see if he's still there just a double check. Maybe he's gone. Looks like he's gone. Oh no, he's right there. Sorry. Okay, so. All right. What else do you want to address? So we have corner. We have guard. You think we can wait on tackle because Trent's going to be. Going to come back for a year, maybe two years. Yeah. I think we got edge and we got wide receiver. I think the depth and linebacker is good now. Fred will be back. Dre Green law was signed. D winners. Tatum Bethune. Luke Gifford, who is a. Pro Bowl player. Garrett Wallow played a lot for him down the road. I'll tell you what. Like they have Jake Brendel at. At. At center. Excuse me. Let me see. And I just mentioned that. So he might be under contract for a little bit.

Maybe is. I was going to say. Tray Zune is a really good player at text A&M, but. It brindles under contract for. A while that necessarily isn't a need here. Um. Yeah, Jake Brendel signed. Well, no, his contract expires. After 2027, he's 34. There's an option year after 2026. I would consider Tray Zune here. Unless there's. A belief that Jake is coming back. For the next. Yeah, his contract is up after next year. I missed his name. Sorry. So he's got. 26 and 27 or up after 26. Up after 26. Okay, let's go in with Johnson first. Okay. Just so you can pay him extra $45. Yep. On the contract. Treating you're going to take care of your running backs. And I would take Tray Zune the third here who played outside tackle, but he's going to play center probably the next level. And he's going to be really good. So you're getting a bargain. Potential starting tackle here. All right, 49ers fans.

Curious what you think about this mock draft here. It gives a grade before we get the PFF grade. So we can compare. Let us know if the players that you like that you didn't like. That you would have taken that we passed on. I'm curious what you guys think. And then producer striker. B plus. Look at that. So to recap at pick 27. Ed rusher tj park out of Clemson pick 58. Layup Chris Brazel the second wide receiver at its Tennessee. Pick 127 cornerback to cardio Davis out of UW pick 133 guard. Both Stevens at Iowa pick 138 running back in Johnson out of Nebraska. He's getting a lot of runs on these mock drafts. I'll ask you. Does he get drafted before after round four, which is typically where we see him available? Who's that? Image Johnson running back out of Nebraska. I think she'll go before. All right. Finally, he didn't he didn't run for us. And I know that will matter to some people. Yeah. You said, but we see the before after. Yeah. Pick 138.

You can guess 138. I'll give you the. Yeah, let's go. Let's go before. All right. He gets picked before 138. We'll find out together. Make a note of that striker. Second win my dollar bet. And finally, the last pick for the 49ers pick 139. Tackle the text A&M. But then I moved to center almost certainly. Traysune the third has a chance to be a starter. If they move off from Drake Rendell after the 2026 season. All right. That is it for this edition of the perfect draft. Remember, we're hitting all 32 teams.
