Someone thinks the San Francisco 49ers got a steal in the DeForest Buckner trade. Do the 49ers plan on more deals? But this is a bye week for the 49ers. So let’s look ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft and see what the Pro Football Focus mock simulator says they will get.
The 49ers are rolling with a record of 6-1, even though they’re coming off a loss to the Falcons. It’s looking like they will have a low first-round draft pick in 2027.
Round 1, Pick 32: CB Zabien Brown, Alabama
It’s a great combination when a cornerback can flat-out run and also be a guy who can make tackles. And Brown brings those things to the field, according to NFL Draft Buzz.

“Brown pairs rare timed speed with the kind of run defense corners rarely post,” NFL Draft Buzz wrote. “A sticky man-cover corner and willing force in support whose ball production shows up on tape, with two interceptions and takeaways against Tennessee and Oklahoma. However, the coverage detail is good rather than elite for where he sits. He can grab at the top of routes when his recovery runs late, and he loses a step out of phase when receivers get vertical early.
“Overall, Brown is a fluid, physical, ball-productive corner whose underlying coverage trails his splash production by a touch, but the reaction quickness and compete skills are worth betting on. He projects as an early starter with the flexibility to play inside or outside, with the ceiling of a high-end boundary starter if the grabbing tightens and the floor of a physical nickel.”
And Brown knows what it’s like to have to fight against determined competition, according to tide1009.com.
“We’re Bama, that’s what we expect from everybody,” Brown said earlier this season. “We’re everybody’s Super Bowl, and we expect to get everybody’s best shot. We want nothing less.”
Round 2, Pick 64: LB Sammy Omosigho, UCLA
It has been a good season so far for Omosigho, according to The Athletic. He’s currently rated as the No. 5 linebacker among NFL Draft prospects.
“Omosihgo, a near-240-pound thumper, is a big-time riser. He’s been all over the field for the Bruins,” Nick Baumgardner wrote. “His 23 pressures match Cole’s number, and his six sacks and 31 run stops top Rojas’ totals. An ascending talent.”
Omosigho is a true off-ball linebacker, according to fantasylife.com.
“He is a modern-day off-ball linebacker who can cover tight ends and backs out of the backfield in the passing game, while also staying gap-sound between the tackles to thwart the rushing attack,” Gene Clemons wrote. “Showing that he is defensive package-proof will most certainly raise his draft value. He has sideline-to-sideline range and possesses the closing burst to get to a ball carrier before they hit their top speed.”
Round 3, Pick 96: C Braelin Moore, LSU
There are issues with Moore, most notably his size at 6-foot-2 and 301 pounds. But he has talent, according to Pro Football Network.
“What he lacks in measureables, he makes up for with a few select superpowers,” PFN worte. “Explosiveness, consistent leverage acquisition, high-level two-phase intelligence and awareness, and tenacious competitive energy. Moore fires off the snap in the run game and can both surge to landmarks and get outside adjacent gap defenders on reach blocks.
“While his lacking size and length impact his finishing ability and render him easy to wrench upright at times, he’s still angle-sound, assignment-sound, and urgent, with the rotational torque to get the most out of his frame on extensions. Moore doesn’t have elite range for a zone-blocking center, but regardless, he has the gap-to-gap explosion, leverage play, football IQ, and technical prowess to be a quality starter.”
Round 5, Pick 170: HB Turbo Richard, Indiana
Richard is part of a two-man backfield attack that has kept the Hoosiers among the elite teams. He possesses a nice combination of speed and power. And he cut loose for 204 yards in a recent game against Rutgers, despite an injury the week before, according to ESPN.
“I was really just thinking I was ready to come back already,” said Richard, who had to be helped off the field during the first half of Indiana’s victory over Northwestern on Sept. 25. “But I put a lot of time in the training room to make sure I could come back today, and it really paid off for me.
“Right now, me and Lee (Beebe) are holding it down,” Richard said. “When Khobie (Martin) comes back, we’ll have our three-headed monster, like we had during the preseason.”
This seems like a good place to grab Richard. However, his draft value could rise if he finishes the season strong,
Round 6, Pick 207: T Rakeem Johnson, Michigan State
There’s a big reason Johnson will draw interest in Johnson. He can move around the offensive line, according to Sports Illustrated.
“A huge reason Johnson is so valuable is the fact that he can basically play anywhere on the offensive line,” Jacob Cotsonika wrote. “Johnson has gotten snaps at left tackle, right guard, and right tackle already during his collegiate career.
“Johnson has also been known to get some practice time at center in the past, too. Most linemen are usually confined to one or two spots on the line. Johnson would check out as an option that makes some sense at all five spots on the offensive line.”
Round 7, Pick 248: WR Devin McCuin, Ohio State
Playing receiver at Ohio State generally means attention from the NFL. McCuin hasn’t been splashy, but has 19 catches for 268 yards and a pair of scores already this season. Combine this with his physical
