Our friends over at Draft Wire released their latest three-round mock draft. The 49ers lost their seventh-straight game Sunday to New Orleans, and are still slated to hold the second-overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

With quarterback, wide receiver, and outside linebacker among the 49ers most glaring needs, this draft will be crucial for general manager Trent Baalke and his efforts to rebuild the 49ers depleted roster.

The Draft Wire pegs for the 49ers promising young quarterback in Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer along with a weapon on the outside in USC’s JuJu Smith-Schuster in the first two rounds. That duo would address two of the team’s most glaring needs. The added projection of Louisville edge rusher DeVonte Fields fills out what would be a three-round step in the right direction for the 49ers.

Round 1 (No. 2 overall): DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame

Draft Wire editor Luke Easterling shared his insights on the 49ers’ selection of Kizer:

The 49ers need to spend this pick on a quarterback, and they get their pick of the litter in this scenario. I still think Kizer is the prospect NFL scouts will see the most upside in, despite the collective struggles the Fighting Irish have seen this season. He has all the physical tools to succeed at the next level.

To expand, Kizer’s solid play has largely been in spite of Notre Dame’s recent struggles. Despite their recent loss to Navy, Kizer still completed 19 of 27 for 223 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The 49ers are likely preparing to part ways with both Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick. Kizer represents a needed investment.

At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, Kizer possesses the traits NFL team’s of today look for in their quarterback prospects. He functions well in the pocket but can still threaten defenses with his running ability. Kizer’s blend of throwing power and touch also represent essential building blocks NFL coaches seek.

He’s tallied a career-total of 5,145 yards passing, 888 yards rushing, a 61 percent completion rate, 8.5 yards per attempt, 40 TD passes with another 17 as a runner to 17 interceptions.

Kizer would undoubtedly be considered a worthwhile investment for the 49ers with the second-overall pick.

Other possible selections:

Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson

Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama

Jabrill Peppers, DB/RB, Michigan

Round 2 (No. 34 overall): JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC

JuJu Smith-Schuster would be another much-needed investment for the 49ers, bolstering a receiving corps that is among the worst in the NFL.

At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, Smith-Schuster represents the powerful red-zone threat the 49ers desperately need. While his route-running could use improvement, Smith-Schuster wins with power and athleticism, routinely out-muscling and out-leaping defenders.

Smith-Schuster possesses the attitude, toughness and blocking ability that head coach Chip Kelly values from his receivers. He has already made highlight reels this season for both his aggressiveness after the catch and his willingness to block for the offense.

Smith-Schuster has 48 receptions for 641 yards and eight touchdowns so far in 2016.

Both Kizer and Smith-Schuster would add some much needed talent for head coach Chip Kelly and the league’s 31st-ranked offense.

Other possible selections:

Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami (FL)

Jake Butt, TE, Michigan

Round 3 (No. 66 overall): Devonte Fields, EDGE, Louisville

Every year there are players dripping with talent that after a couple questionable decisions during their collegiate career, are now trying to rebuild their reputations before entering in the NFL draft. Louisville edge-rusher Devonte Fields is among those.

After excelling at TCU in 2012, Fields missed 2013 due to injury and off-field issues. The following summer, he was then accused of domestic violence which led to suspension and his eventual dismissal from the school. After a short stint with Trinity Valley Community College, Fields transferred to Louisville before the 2015 season.

At 6-foot-4 and 242 pounds, Fields has the size NFL defenses covet in their edge players. He has the strength to set the edge against the run and the quickness and flexibility to rush the passer. Fields excels at using his length to keep blockers at bay, quickly shedding and pursuing the ball-carrier. Fields also looks natural on his feet, making him an ideal candidate for the 49ers 3-4 defensive scheme.

Fields has racked up 150 tackles, 45.5 tackles for loss, 22.5 sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles in his collegiate career. If character concerns seem a thing of the past, Fields would be a valuable addition for a 49ers defense that has struggled to do just about everything in 2016.

Other possible selections:

Luke Falk, QB, Washington State

Adam Bisnowaty, OT, Pittsburgh
