2020 NFL Draft: Cesar Ruiz a dark-horse 49ers pick at No. 31

The whole scenario for the San Francisco 49ers‘ 2020 NFL Draft plans changed when the team traded away defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for the No. 13 overall pick.

Now armed with two first-round selections, the other being No. 31 overall, general manager John Lynch can go in a completely different direction than many likely would have suspected before the trade.

While wide receiver is generally viewed as the team’s top need, it’s not hard to see why the offensive line could use some help entering this season. Last year, attrition was a big issue.
