How 49ers built star-studded roster to reach Super Bowl 54 vs. Chiefs

MIAMI -- The final major piece of the 49ers’ puzzle fell into place when the Arizona Cardinals selected Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals were not the only team in the NFC West that was thrilled with the pick.

Because Arizona went with a quarterback, it left the draft board wide open for the 49ers at No. 2. CEO Jed York says he thought it was possible the 49ers could have a special season after defensive end Nick Bosa became a member of the team.

The 49ers arrived in Miami, site of Super Bowl LIV, on Sunday evening.
