The San Francisco 49ers decided they wanted a top quarterback in this year's draft class, but they needed help.
Chris Grier is a man of action. The Miami Dolphins general manager seized the opportunity, and the 49ers will now have a chance to select BYU's Zach Wilson, Ohio State's Justin Fields or North Dakota State's Trey Lance.
That wouldn't be possible had San Francisco stood pat at No. 12.
Instead, Grier and 49ers GM John Lynch orchestrated a blockbuster deal for the third overall pick. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, San Francisco sent the 12th overall selection, a 2021 third-round pick and '22 and '23 first-rounders for Miami's slot.
