In its first mock draft for 2027, Pro Football Focus has the San Francisco 49ers projected to select Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Lauck with the 32nd overall pick. The 49ers are considering Lauck as a long-term successor to veteran Trent Williams, who remains effective but may retire in the coming seasons. Lauck has demonstrated strong performance with an 82.7 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2026 and has excelled as a run blocker. His skills align well with the 49ers' zone-based offense under head coach Kyle Shanahan. This represents a shift in strategy for the 49ers, who have rarely drafted offensive linemen in the first round.
- •Trevor Lauck is currently ranked 34th on PFF's Big Board.
- •He started all 13 games for Iowa in 2025 after limited starts in 2024.
- •Lauck has allowed just three pressures in 172 pass-blocking snaps this season.
- •The 49ers have historically avoided first-round picks on offensive linemen.
- •This draft pick could indicate a shift in their approach to building the roster.
