Back to the San Francisco 49ers Newsfeed

Does trading up in the first round make sense for the 49ers?

A couple of recent mock drafts have the San Francisco 49ers moving up in the first round of the NFL Draft this year. For as much talk as there has been about this being a historic wide receiver class, the offensive tackle class has just as much firepower at the top.

When you consider the Niners' potential move to secure a top offensive tackle, it’s a strategic decision. The likes of Tyler Guyton, Amarius Mims, and Kingsley Suamataia could be on their radar, especially if the top four prospects of Joe Alt, Olumuyiwa Fashanu, JC Latham, and Taliese Fuaga are off the board by the top 20 picks.
