I know many of you just want to see the picks and move on with your busy days. However, I will break down why you shouldn’t. This 49ers 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft needs context added before we commence. The 49ers went from Super Bowl runner-ups to 6-10 and last place in the NFC West within 12 months. Injuries magnified their struggles in 2020, but the transition into 2021 is not seamless. The 49ers currently have just over $22 million in salary cap space, with many possible future holes to fill. Unfortunately, they may have to open more holes to create cap space. Ridding themselves of Jimmy Garoppolo, Dee Ford, and Weston Richburg’s contracts creates over $34 million in space to acquire free agents.
