The San Francisco 49ers have enough needs that almost any iteration of a fake project will make an appearance in front of a free agency. No matter how the free agency shakes up, their two selections in a two-round mockery from our friends at Draft Wire could make a ton of sense.
With the 12th pick, the 49ers capture Corneliu Virginia Tech, Caleb Farley. He is a highly regarded potential CB, who could possibly be off the board until San Francisco chooses Draft Day. But they are lucky in this mockery and he falls on them.
The 6-2, 207-pound defensive defender did not play in 2020, but in just two academic seasons he managed to post six interceptions and 19 passes. He’s thinking of slipping like an outside defender on day 1. Given the number of holes the 49ers need to fill, it’s very easy to see them in a place where they can comfortably pick up a defender at the start of the first round. .
Their second selection, at number 43, meets a need inside the offensive line with Alabama goalkeeper Deonte Brown. Brown played both guard posts in college, but ended his career as a star guard for the Crimson Tide.
This place on the offensive line was undoubtedly a weak point for San Francisco last season and a scenario in which they propose one in the second round means that they probably had a successful free agency that left them in a place where could strengthen that position. with one of their top choices.
