During each week leading to the draft, we will look at a collection of mock drafts from various sources and compile a list of the top prospects projected to head to the 49ers.
Thirty-eight of the 54 mock drafts that I looked at this week have the San Francisco 49ers selecting a wide receiver with the No. 13 overall pick. That doesn't include scenarios that have the team trading down a few spots and still selecting a receiver. The three most popular choices, unsurprisingly, remain the top three receiver prospects in the 2020 draft class — Jerry Jeudy of Alabama, CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma, and Henry Ruggs of Alabama.
Jeudy and Lamb were tied for the most popular choices last week, with the former leading the group this week.
The receiver position is seen as a need for the 49ers after veteran Emmanuel Sanders, whom the team traded for last season, left to the New Orleans Saints via free agency.
The 49ers own two first-round picks. In addition to the No. 13 overall selection, which it acquired via a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco also holds its original pick at No. 31.
The 54 mock drafts that we scoured through include big-name sites like ESPN and NFL.com to smaller independent fan-run sites, along with everything in-between. Projected trades are noted in the breakdown below.
Offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz of Michigan, last week's leader for the most popular selection at No. 31 overall, is joined this week by cornerback Trevon Diggs of Alabama. Mostly defensive players follow them in the predictions for that spot.
Below are the top-ranked projections for the 49ers at No. 13 among the mock drafts we examined.
