With the 2023 NFL Draft just a few weeks away, it’s time to really start looking at the 49ers’ positional needs and what prospects could fill them. San Francisco does not make its first selection until the end of the third round with three picks nearly in a row at Nos. 99, 101 and 102. Fortunately for general manager John Lynch and the front office, there is depth at several positions in the draft which gives the 49ers an opportunity to add quality players to their roster. NBC Sports Bay Area's 49ers insider Matt Maiocco and I went through a mock draft for San Francisco's first six selections which currently are set to be in rounds three and five. While we chose completely different prospects for each pick, we did focus on the same positions within those first six selections. Here is my mock draft for the 49ers' first six picks of the 2023 NFL Draft:
San Jose State
Florida
Georgia
Utah
Penn State
Syracuse
