The NFL Draft is just about a month away, and the San Francisco 49ers will be looking to hit a home run in order to make up for the series of losses the team has suffered through the offseason. The experts at NFL.com and CBS.com have both released the latest versions of their mock drafts, including who they believe the 49ers will select as the 15th overall selection.

The team has its fair share of needs, as linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland both shockingly retired earlier this offseason, and cornerbacks Perrish Cox and Chris Culliver have signed elsewhere. The offensive line also has its fair share of question marks, with the myriad of injuries suffered last year, Mike Iupati‘s departure, and Jonathan Martin‘s release.

Rarely do these mock drafts ever pan out, but they usually do give an idea of how the team should focus on drafting. Here’s a look at how each of the nine experts see the 49ers approaching the first round of the draft.
