What happens when Niner Noise goes All-SEC in their mock draft? You get something like this, an intriguing selection of players that could be a sleeper draft crop.

This mock draft is exactly what you get on the tin: all San Francisco 49ers picks, all-SEC, and that’s it.

But the real question isn’t just who to pick in this mock draft, but which positions get chosen. Whom does the SEC offer that the Niners might like to see make the roster.

With that in mind, let’s take a run at this draft.

All draft pick spots are according to the official San Francisco 49ers website.

No. 27: Monroe Freeling, Offensive Tackle, Georgia
Please, oh PLEASE, can the Niners go offensive line early? I know, it isn’t part of its modus operandi, but San Francisco needs to find a heir for Trent Williams.

This would be a best case scenario for San Francisco, as Monroe Freeling has a fluid draft stock. Some think he can go in the top 10, which seems too high, while others think he might fall to Day 2, which seems too low.

Freeling isn’t the completed product. But at the NFL Combine, he showed excellent strength and athleticism. He can start at guard for now, learn from Williams and take over when the time is right.

No. 58: Jake Slaughter, Center/Guard, Florida
Speaking of prospects I’ve written about, San Francisco needs an upgrade at left guard and someone at center for the next generation.

Jake Slaughter was a leader at Florida who gave up only one sack. Here, the 49ers double-dip at their biggest offensive need in the trenches with someone who can play any position on the interior.

No. 127: Keyron Crawford, EDGE, Auburn

The 49ers love to add to their defensive line, and adding someone who can come in as a rotational pass-rusher isn’t a bad idea.

Keyron Crawford has shown upside to get after the quarterback with five sacks for Auburn last season. Crawford also had 9.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception while recording 43 quarterback pressures.

He needs to work on doing more than just being a passing-down specialist, but the potential is there.

No. 133: Julian Neal, Cornerback, Arkansas

Julian Neal is a favorite sleeper of mine in the draft this year, a pick who was a good corner for Arkansas in 2025 and has good size at 6-foot-2, 203 pounds.

A Fresno State transfer and San Francisco native, Neal had 55 tackles, two interceptions and 10 passes defended for the year. He’s a strong run defender, too, though teams might be concerned by his average speed (4.49-second 40-time at the combine) and stiffness.

His upside makes him a strong candidate here.

No. 138: Harrison Wallace III, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss

Mike Evans and Christian Kirk are good signings but aren’t going to be around for the long term, while Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings aren’t coming back. The 49ers need to spend a pick on someone else.

Harrison Wallace III ticks the boxes the Niners love as a shifty route-runner, recording 61 receptions for 934 yards and four touchdowns. The one drawback is his run blocking is poor on film, and he didn’t run a full route tree, so he’ll have to work hard at his craft to make it in the Kyle Shanahan system.

No. 139: Michael Taaffe, Safety, Texas

The 49ers need to find a safety to add some competition for the position. Michael Taaffe had a nice season for Texas, though his NFL Combine performance didn’t light up scouts who could now see him available on Day 3.

Taaffe has some special coverage skills and is a smart operator, running the pregame reads for the Texas defense. He’s also a versatile player who played in the slot, both safety positions and in the box, which will appeal to San Francisco. He has immediate special teams appeal, too, and showed his coachability with his growth.

He had 70 tackles, a sack and two interceptions last season and is a sleeper candidate.
