With the first round in the books our focus now shifts towards day two of the 2017 NFL Draft which will feature rounds 2 and 3. The San Francisco 49ers selected Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas at third overall after trading back with the Chicago Bears, and linebacker Reuben Foster from Alabama at 31st overall after moving back up into the end of the first. As of this morning, heading into day 2, the 49ers have two draft selections. They are both in round 3 and happen to be back-to-back picks (Nos. 66 & 67). Today, we will focus on some of the best available prospects still available at each position who could be in range for the 49ers. Keep in mind, the 49ers can potentially trade back up into the 2nd round.

Day 1 was devoted to the defensive side of the ball. With that said, I would expect the team to address some needs on the offensive side of the ball on day two. Here is a list of the best available players at each position.
