Joe Broback’s 2024 NFL Mock Draft: Caleb Williams Falls After the NFL Combine, Vikings Trade Up for a Quarterback
The 49ers are expected to have 11 total draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. As they prepare for another potential trip to the Super Bowl, San Francisco should be able to add plenty of talent, given the depth of this year’s draft class.
Pro Football Network’s Joe Broback released his latest mock draft and has the 49ers actually trading out of the 31st overall pick in the first round. Given San Francisco’s plethora of draft picks this year, a trade-back allows them to add assets in the 2025 NFL Draft as well.

Best-Case Scenarios for Every Team in the 2024 NFL Draft
While Broback has the 49ers trading out of the 31st overall pick in the first round, Pro Football Network’s Derek Tate believes they should remain in that position. Given the depth and talent of this year’s group of offensive linemen, Tate thinks the 49ers will be able to land an immediate starter along the offensive line with their first-round pick.
Although San Francisco’s offensive line showed flashes of dominance for much of last season, they struggled down the stretch. 49ers general manager John Lynch should be able to land a Day 1 starter to help in the trenches with the 31st overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

2024 NFL Combine Notes: Drake Maye’s Wavering Draft Stock, Future of Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, and More
Despite the presence of star tight end George Kittle, the 49ers are reportedly showing interest in another Iowa tight end in the 2024 NFL Draft. According to Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda, San Francisco is one of four teams to show “a lot of interest” in Iowa tight end Erick All.
All has battled several injuries over the last two seasons, and his draft stock could certainly be hindered by his injury history. Yet, given San Francisco’s success with Kittle, another former Iowa tight end, they might be willing to take a chance on All’s upside.
