The bad news? The San Francisco 49ers won’t be picking anywhere near the top end of Round 1 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The good news? Each year, there is plenty of first-round talent finding its way deep into Round 1, even into Round 2. With some simple Twitter searches, it’s possible to find at least 60 players who have zero chances of falling into the second round.
For those draft novices, there are only 32 first-round picks.
Either way, the Niners can hope a number of top-rated NFL Draft prospects wind up slipping on draft day, especially if they are for legitimate reasons: a run on quarterbacks or other positions the 49ers don’t need to address, 30 other teams doing odd things or whatever.
