McShay's new 2020 NFL Mock Draft: Landing spots for the class' best defenders

Who drafts Chase Young and other impact defensive prospects? How many QBs are selected? Todd McShay predicts the first 32 picks in this year's draft.

31. San Francisco 49ers
Laviska Shenault Jr., WR, Colorado

The Niners will be looking for a way back to the Super Bowl after a devastating blown lead against the Chiefs. A good start is adding the draft's ultimate offensive Swiss Army knife. Coach Kyle Shanahan schemed up motion on nearly 70% of plays during the regular season, the highest rate in the NFL. As he did with rookie Deebo Samuel, he can line up Shenault anywhere, get him moving and get creative. The Colorado receiver made 56 catches and carried the ball 23 times in 2019, and his after-the-catch ability is off the charts. Toss in the fact that Emmanuel Sanders is a free agent and San Francisco has a quality addition here. But it's worth noting that the Niners won't pick again until Round 5, so moving out of Day 1 entirely to recover some picks might be the best option.

Would rather he not end up in SFO. They don’t throw the ball enough. He might get 2-3 balls thrown his way per game if he’s lucky.

That's a big dramatic. SF threw it 478 times this year (30 att/game) while the Saints and Chiefs, for comparison, threw it 581 and 576 times respectively (~36 att/game). An extra 6 pass attempts per game isn't that big of a deal. Also, Deebo Samuel averaged 5.4 targets/game as a 2nd round Rookie.
 
The Athletic's mock draft doesn't include Viska in 1st round. They have 5 WR's being picked in top 20 picks.

Let him fall to 46, I'd be happy with that

i think Kyle Shanahan just might be smart enough to design an offense around the personnel he has.
 
Everyone here knows the deal with Viska. Toe to toe, I'd take him over anybody, yes I'm biased as hell. Hopefully that problem doesn't plague him during his career, he could really be great if everything works out.
 
The P-12 Net has a nice piece on the Shanault family - a segment of "Our Story". The 2020 roster lists his brother, as "RS Freshman". Does that mean he RS'd last year, or will this year?
