It feels like the 49ers getting the opportunity to draft Nick Bosa is becoming more of a probable outcome than a possible outcome. Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller became the latest draft analyst to send quarterback Kyler Murray to Arizona in his three-round mock.

The 49ers take advantage and snag the Ohio State edge rusher, but the more intriguing thing in Miller’s mock is their moves after the first round. They prioritize receiver over safety, and take a pass catcher that doesn’t necessarily fit the mold we’ve seen 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan covet in receivers. They also scoop up a potential starting free safety in the third round.

This is becoming the consensus selection for the 49ers, and it’s hard to argue they go any other direction if the Cardinals do select Murray first overall. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and CEO Jed York have made it clear San Francisco is willing to part with this pick for the right price. That price likely rises with the increasing possibility that the best edge rusher in the draft falls to them.
