First Round Top Twelve Mock Draft: Bears Make a Move!
42. . Defensive Back. Alabama. Minkah Fitzpatrick. 9. player
The 49ers could go a variety of ways with this selection, but they love Minkah Fitzpatrick and didn’t really think he would still be on the board when they selected here at nine. The NFL media’s love for John Lynch will continue with this pick.
Fitzpatrick is a versatile defender that could be an incredible playmaker. He will probably spend most of his time at nickelback, which is why he fell as far as he did, but the former safety in Lynch sees plenty of ways to utilize Fitzpatrick in his defense. The pick is a clear one.
