| 3/04/24 | 49ers hit 2 biggest needs in 2-round projections from Draft Wire. The 49ers have a handful of things to fix on their roster heading into 2024, but offensive tackle and defensive end are the two positions that really stand out as needs going into free agency and the draft. Luckily they can check both boxes in the draft if things shake out the way they do in a two-round mock by our friends at the Draft Wire following the combine. In the two-round projections the 49ers begin at DE and select Penn State's Chop Robinson No. 31 overall. It doesn't seem likely Robinson drops all the way to the end of Round 1, particularly after he blew up the combine with size and athletic testing that haven't been seen since former 49ers TE Vernon Davis.
