During the first round of the draft, the 49ers decided to keep their wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk instead of trading him. They used the 31st overall pick, which they earned by making it to the Super Bowl in 2023. In addition, they also selected Florida receiver Ricky Pearsall, indicating that they are moving towards getting younger and cheaper at key positions. The 49ers are considering trading either Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel in order to achieve this goal.
There is speculation that one of these players may be traded for a second-round pick as the draft progresses. Fans will have to wait and see how the 49ers continue to navigate their roster and make decisions to improve their team. Stay tuned for more updates as the draft unfolds.
