Why
The priority is offensive tackle, as the talent level of the group beyond Trent Williams is a question mark. On the defensive line, the recent injury to Victor Dimukeje highlights a need to bolster the rotation. The safety group appears thin on personnel, and more talent could be added to the linebacker corps to complement the starters.

Track record read
Lynch's Niners appear comfortable sacrificing capital for early picks or trading out of initial rounds, evidenced by two years without R1/R2 selections. When they do pick, they aren't afraid to reach for premium position talent, like FCS QB Trey Lance or WR Ricky Pearsall. They also prioritize the trenches, with IOL Banks and Pac-12 pass rusher Drake Jackson, showcasing a blend of high-ceiling picks and strategic bets.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Three names per every pick.
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
A'Mauri Washington
Oregon
DLHe brings that interior penetration they love, a true pocket wrecker. His impact is instant; the ceiling depends on his arm extension.
Jeremiah Smith
Ohio State
WRGenerational WR1 to dominate outside. A luxury opening up the whole field for Deebo/Aiyuk, has MVP ceiling.
Ellis Robinson IV
Georgia
CBBrings an elite man corner, exactly what they're missing to match top receivers. High floor, if he handles contact, he's there.
Second round
3 names
Rene Konga
Louisville
DLAdds the pop the DL needs for their stunts. High ceiling, but he's gotta learn to anchor, or he'll get moved around easy.
LaNorris Sellers
South Carolina
QBA project QB who frees up Purdy for the short-term. Sky-high ceiling, sure, but super raw for this scheme.
Jamari Sharpe
Indiana
CBThe long, athletic piece that secondary needs. If he refines hands and adds strength, a CB1 with sky-high ceiling in Man-D.
Third round
3 names
Melvin Siani
Wake Forest
OTSiani could patch the right side, his fluidity fits the zone scheme. High pass pro upside, but the anchor worries.
Ty Robinson
Nebraska
DLInterior anchor for the A-gap, resisting doubles. High floor as a run-stuffer if we ignore the pass-rush.
Marcus Neal Jr.
Penn State
SSolid piece for the post-Ward secondary. That range and versatility will anchor the backfield, a floor that definitely solves the coverage issue.
