There is a lot of variety at pick 31.
The NFL Draft is only 16 days away. Let’s pass the time by looking at mock drafts and who they have the San Francisco 49ers selecting at No. 13 and No. 31.
Rotoworld (Hayden Winks) – DT Javon Kinlaw (at pick 15), WR Laviska Shennault
15. 49ers (move down to DEN) – Javon Kinlaw, DT2
This is an obvious connection after San Francisco traded DT DeForest Buckner away to the Colts. Kinlaw needs more development, but the 49ers don’t need an every down player right away and Kinlaw is twitchy enough to do some damage while growing as a player.
31. 49ers – Laviska Shenault, WR8
San Francisco depleted their Day 2 picks with previous trades, so I won’t be surprised if they ultimately trade this pick. For now, I’ll give them a receiver who fits their physical culture in Shenault. The Colorado prospect dominates within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage and would be another short-yardage weapon for Kyle Shanahan, the best short-yardage schemer in the NFL.
