The Draft Network’s mock draft projects popular pick to 49ers

“Banks (6-4, 320) is the fourth offensive lineman selected in Johnstone’s mock draft. He has Purdue tackle Marcus Mbow headed to the New England Patriots at 4th overall, LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell going to the New Orleans Saints at No. 9, and the Chicago Bears selecting Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr. with the 10th overall pick.

Playing exclusively at left tackle for the Longhorns last season, Banks earned an impressive 89.8 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football...

Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen go head to head for the third time

It’s a battle between the two most valuable players in the NFL. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

Jackson has a Superman to his Batman with Derrick Henry in the backfield. He ran for the quietest 1,921 yards in NFL history. When these two teams met in Week 4, Henry ran for 199 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown run to begin the game.

The Ravens are unlikely to have Zay Flowers, but this game was always going to be decided...

Barkley’s success against the Rams last game was one of the best performances of the season

I remember traveling to Lambeau Field earlier this season to watch the San Francisco 49ers and Brandon Allen. That night, the Los Angeles Rams hosted the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that read 37-20 on the scoreboard, but it wasn’t as close as the score suggested.

Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards on 26 carries. He added 47 yards through the air, and looked unstoppable. Barkley ran for over 2,000 yards and has been unstoppable in effectively every game.

The same cannot be said...

Yes, they do exist

You know some offseason weirdness will come to Niners Nation, but I didn’t think it’d arrive this early.

Earlier this week, you may have heard about the NFL opening up some themed Kentucky Fried Chicken locations in Mexico. It sounds like something to be skeptical about, but it’s true. San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Pittsburgh Steelers-themed KFCs now exist south of the border.

Our own Alex Tran, who runs the Niners Nation Instagram, posted some videos of the facility. This is definitely the 49ers-themed hangout I want to go to. Forget the authentic Mexican...

A possible candidate for the 49ers’ own defensive coordinator search is now unavailable.

The San Francisco 49ers’ candidate pool for defensive coordinator may have one less option.

The Atlanta Falcons announced they are hiring Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator.

Ulbrich just finished a stint as interim head coach of the New York Jets after Robert Saleh was let go midway into the 2024 season. Ulbrich was seen as a potential favorite for the position. However, there hasn’t been much news on interviews or where he was compared to the 49ers’ top choice: His former boss, Robert Saleh.

This doesn’t help...

How 49ers acquired each of their projected comp picks in 2025 NFL draft

“The 49ers snagged a third-round comp pick in the 2025 draft when DeMeco Ryans and Ran Carthon were both hired in the same offseason. Ryans went to the Houston Texans as their head coach. Carthon went to the Tennessee Titans as their general manager.”

The Lions will have something to say about that

The Washington Commanders accomplished a rare feat during the Wild Card round. It’s not often a rookie quarterback goes on the road and wins in the NFL during the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

Jayden Daniels puts on a show every time the Commanders are on primetime. We saw how leaky the Detroit Lions could be firsthand a few weeks ago. Washington has been the king of variance this season on late downs. Generally speaking, that’s not a sustainable way to win the NFL. But Daniels has defied the odds...

DeMeco Ryans has a chance to do what Kyle Shanahan has yet to do in the playoffs

DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans head to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Houston gets guard Shaq Mason back for the first time since Week 16. As we know, you need all of the help you can get along the offensive line going against the Chiefs’ exotic blitz package. It’s not like they need any more help with Chris Jones and George Karlafaftis rushing the passer.

Running back Joe Mixon popped up on the...

He’s not better or worse, but choosing between him and some of the other losers of Wild Card Weekend shouldn’t be that easy.

Welcome to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. This year, the San Francisco 49ers are missing in action but they certainly are a talking point. This is the part of the show where we expose some bad takes about quarterback Brock Purdy.

Initially, this was going to be about Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold’s performance on Monday, but when you see some other quarterbacks who were also jettisonedin the first round, the entire quarterback landscape becomes...
