In the latest mock draft by Nate Davis, the 49ers are predicted to trade up for UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu, a move that could raise some eyebrows with Alabama offensive tackle J.C.

Latham still available on the board.

Experts are unsure of the 49ers’ intentions with the 31st pick, with some speculating they may stick with a defensive tackle while others anticipate a trade up for an offensive tackle.

However, Davis believes a trade with the Seattle Seahawks to acquire Latu would make sense for both teams, given the 49ers’ strong need for edge rushers and Latu’s impressive performance at UCLA.

While the decision might be controversial considering the team’s weak offensive tackle positions, adding Latu to their roster would significantly bolster the 49ers’ pass rush.
