With nine picks in the 2022 draft, the 49ers appear to be well-positioned to trade up in the draft to ensure that they land a player that they covet.
Some extremely enticing prospects are projected to come off the board somewhere near the top end of the second round. Think of players like Arnold Ebiketie, Nik Bonitto, Jaquan Brisker, Christian Watson, etc.
If the 49ers want a realistic shot at moving up and grabbing one of these players, they are going to have to jump up from where they are currently slated to pick at 61.
