It’s been a few years, but the San Francisco 49ers are currently slated to have a first-round pick for the first time since the 2022 NFL Draft. If the 49ers choose to stay in the first round, the player selected will become the eighth first-round selection by the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan regime.
So what can those previous seven first-round selections tell us now that could give some insight into what the 49ers may do in this year’s draft?
The consensus is that the 49ers’ most significant needs right now are in the secondary and on the offensive line, with a potential future need at wide receiver.
