For the third consecutive season, the San Francisco 49ers fell short of their ultimate goal in another heart-breaking defeat...this time against the hated Seattle Seahawks on enemy turf. 

Even before the NFC Championship game, many were looking forward to what is going to be an interesting offseason for one of the best organizations in football. A lot of what San Francisco plans to do during said offseason will center around the draft. 

Here is our final 49ers mock draft prior to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and before comensatory selections are announced. 

First Round:                           Kelvin Benjamin, Wide Receiver, Florida State 

If the 49ers loss to Seattle proved one thing, it was that they need another big-bodied wide receiver to go up against Richard Sherman and the Seahawks. With Anquan Boldin set to become a free agent and possibly leaving on a bigger contract, San Francisco's depth at wide receiver may end up being a major issue moving forward. 

At 6'5" and 233, Benjamin has the size and physicality to go up against the toughest defensive backs in the NFL and come out on top. He does a tremendous job catching the ball its highest level, which is yet another big thing as it relates to playing in the NFL. While Benjamin does struggle with drops, he has all the tools to be a dominating player at the next level. 

Second Round:                      Kyle Fuller, Cornerback, Virginia Tech 

With Carlos Rogers likely being released and a trio of other cornerbacks (Perrish Cox, Tarell Brown and Eric Wright) set to be free agents, the 49ers are going to have to address the cornerback position a couple times in the offseason. Free agency remains a possibility, hello Mr. Brent Grimes. Though, it's more likely that Trent Baalke and Co. may double down in the draft. 

Fuller is one of the best press cover cornerbacks in the entire draft. He does a solid job lining up against bigger receivers and throwing them off their route early. In terms of technique, Fuller possesses fluid hip movement and doesn't get turned around too often. He's about as pro-ready as you can get coming out of college, too. This means that the 49ers could get a plug-and-play rookie. Upside here is the top 15, however. 

Second Round:                      Deone Bucannon, Safety, Washington State 

There is a really good chance that Donte Whitner will move on in free agency. If he demands top-five safety money, that's about $9 million per season.

As we saw last year with Dashon Goldson, the 49ers are unlikely to match that type of offer.

If so, they are going to have to get an immediate starter next to Eric Reid in the secondary. 

Bucannon is one of the hardest hitters in the entire draft, but also possesses decent range in coverage.

Not only an in-the-box safety, Bucannon can line up at multiple positions on defense, including linebacker and even in the slot. 

Third Round:                          Aaron Colvin, Cornerback, Oklahoma 

If it wasn't for an injury-plagued ending to an otherwise solid career in Norman, we would likely be looking at Colvin as a first-round prospect.

Unlike Fuller before him, Colvin does tend to struggle a tad in press coverage. He can get turned around if the press doesn't work, which has led to some big play against him. In order to mask that, Colvin does a great job keeping the play in front of him and diagnosing where the quarterback is going with the ball.

Strictly an outside cornerback, Colvin also does a good job pressing up against wide receivers in coverage towards the sideline. This cannot really be taught. 

Third Round:                          Tyler Larsen, Center, Utah State 

Jonathan Goodwin is set to become a free agent and has hinted that he might retire. As one of the best teams in the NFL, San Francisco will need to find an immediate replacement. With all due respect to Travis Swanson, this small-school product could be the best center in the draft. He's an immediate starter out of the gate and fits the 49ers personnel along the offensive line. 

Fourth Round:                        Aaron Lynch, Defensive End, South Florida 

It wasn't too long ago that Lynch was considered a lock to be selected in the top 10. Inconsistent play and a lack of effort 100 percent of the time since transferring from Notre Dame caused his stock to drop a great deal. With all that said, Lynch still possesses elite pass-rush moves and would be a solid addition to a suddenly youthful 49ers defensive line with Ian Williams, Quinton Dial, Tony Jerod-Eddie and Tank Carradine. 

The Rest 

Fifth Round:                           Billy Turner, Offensive Tackle, North Dakota State

Sixth Round:                          Sean Parker, Safety, Washington 

Seventh Round:                      Jeff Mathews, Quarterback, Cornell 

Seventh Round:                      Colt Lyerla, Tight End, Oregon 

Seventh Round:                      James Wilder, Running Back, Florida State 

Seventh Round:                      Beau Allen, Defensive Tackle, Wisconsin
