A look at four Mock Drafts for rounds 2 & 3
We’re not done with these Mock Drafts just yet. Let’s take a look at four from around the internet to see who people think the San Francisco 49ers will select on Day 2 of the draft.
Dan Kadar- SB Nation
No. 36 – Rock Ya-Sin, CB, Temple
Ya-Sin was reportedly the top cornerback on multiple teams boards. While passing on a wide receiver isn’t the end of the world, Ya-Sin’s value isn’t in the top-40 picks. I don’t believe he has a very high ceiling, or would bring anything to the roster that isn’t already on it. Pass, for me.
Dane Brugler- The Athletic
No. 36 – A.J. Brown, WR, Ole Miss
Brown will be interesting. He primarily played in the slot, and might take a little time if used differently in the NFL. Brown is a terror after the catch and one of the better route runners in the draft. Tough to be mad at this selection.
No. 67 – Jamel Dean, CB, Auburn
He might not be one of the first five corners selected. Don’t. Care. I’ll go down swinging that he’s the best in the class.
Conor Orr- Sports Illustrated
No. 36 – Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame
A run of receivers in the late first/early second makes sense here. More developing weapons for Jimmy Garoppolo.
You know how I feel about Boykin. If you don’t, I believe he’s the best fit for the 49ers. So, yes please.
No. 67- Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama
The defensive front is now set, but the Niners still need to get settled on the back end.
With Thompson, you have to be okay with him taking chances. He’s going to have a play where he jumps a route and makes a spectacular play. He might have two after that where he misses a tackle or lets a guy get behind him. Consistency is key for Thompson.
R.J. White – CBS
No. 36 – Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina
The 49ers should be in the market for some receiving help with one of their next two picks, and some thought Samuel had a chance to go in the first round. He’ll be a boost to the passing attack in San Francisco.
Samuel is another guy that is a monster after the catch. He seems like a guy Kyle Shanahan would covet as Samuel can be moved all around the formation, including lining up in the backfield.
No. 67 – Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama
Thompson was considered a shoo-in for the first round before struggling at the end of last season, and he wasn’t particularly impressive during the predraft process. That just means someone is going to get a good value later than they should.
I sense a theme here. Agree on the value. This is a good spot for Thompson.
