2017 NFL Mock Draft: The Final 7-Round Apocalypse

2. player. 42. The 49ers are switching to a 4-3 scheme. With that being the case they have no pass rusher to speak of on the defensive line. Solomon Thomas would instantly change that, making for a perfect defensive end who can move inside in rushing situations. The guy wreaks havoc.. DE. Stanford. Solomon Thomas

Notre Dame. Deshone Kizer . 34. player. 42. John Lynch has shown significant interest in DeShon Kizer from the beginning. The Notre Dame QB is not ready. He has growing up to do. That said his talent is among the best in the class. Put him under Kyle Shanahan and behind Brian Hoyer? He’ll do just fine.. QB

Antonio Garcia . 66. player. 42. How much longer does Joe Staley have left? Maybe a few years presuming good health. San Francisco has to start thinking about the future. Antonio Garcia is already a solid pass blocker who will only get better as he hones his fundamentals and adds weight. He can play right tackle.. OT. Troy

player. 42. Free agency did not solve the 49ers’ wide receiver issues. They still need more targets for Hoyer. Isaiah Ford is an underrated kid who blends a nice 6’2″ frame with some vertical speed. He was productive at Virginia Tech and could be dangerous if wielded properly.. WR. Virginia Tech. Isaiah Ford . 109

42. At the moment Wilson is an athletic, reliable corner who showed he could make plays on the ball at times for Houston. He’s unproven in press coverage though and needs to add pounds to his slender frame. Otherwise injuries will inevitably follow given his willingness to tackle.. CB. Houston. Howard Wilson . 143. player

42. He beat cancer, so toughness won’t be a question mark with him. James Connor won’t win foot races and isn’t the best athlete but he was a consistent performer for Pitt who just wore teams out with his ability to find the open lanes and pick up yards. Feed him the ball and he’ll produce.. RB. Pitt. James Connor . 146. player

161. player. 42. At 26 he’s much older than the typical draft pick, mostly because he started late. Still, the young nose tackle wasted no time showing he belonged. He wide, powerful and has a natural leverage he uses to great effect at plugging running lanes.. NT. USC. Stevie Tu'ikolovatu

Louisville. Cole Hikutini . 198. player. 42. More an H-back than a classic tight end, Hikutini nonetheless was a favorite target for Lamar Jackson in Louisville. He’s got good hands, athleticism and an ability to find those open dead spots in a defense to make the catches for first downs.. TE

Depth along the offensive line is never a bad thing, especially one that has so many holes like the 49ers. Dunker is big, athletic guard who is still mastering his technique. If he can do that and improve his power base, he’ll be a starter sooner than later.. OG. Tennessse State. Jessamen Dunker . 202. player. 42

Tanner Vallejo . 219. player. 42. He’s an inside linebacker right now but the 49ers will see his potential right away as an outside linebacker in their 4-3. He understands how to drop into coverage, gives good chase to the football and is an able tackler who will play through pain. Very unselfish guy.. LB. Boise State
