Niner Noise

For the first time since 1996, the San Francisco 49ers will not select a player in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Or will they? After failing to swing for the fences during free agency, fans are hoping for a productive weekend in the war room. Currently, the Niners don’t make a selection until No. 61 overall, way towards the end of Round 2. Although the roster is mostly intact, there are a few pieces missing, that if attained, would make it easier to replicate last year’s success. There are possible mid- to late-round candidates who could fill the void in this year’s draft class.
