Things have changed for the San Francisco 49ers after trading away Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for the No. 13 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Now armed with the 13th and 31st overall picks in April’s draft, general manager John Lynch has far more striking power than he did before the Buckner trade. One of the main benefits is the Niners will now have a shot at some of the elite-level wide receivers in what’s shaping up to be an elite-level wide receiver draft class.
