0:00It's April 24th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything NFL. The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a smart trade right before the NFL draft kicked off. They sent their 27th overall pick and their 138th pick to the Miami Dolphins. In exchange, they landed the Dolphins 30th pick and their 90th pick. This deal slas the 9ers back just 3 spots in the first round, but nets them an extra third round selection. It's a classic value play, keeping them in striking distance for top talent while stacking their board deeper. Folks in the know, like ESPN's Adam Schaefter, are buzzing about how this boosts San Francisco's flexibility. No big losses, just more shots at upgrading the roster amid a competitive draft class. Word as the team has eyes on several edge rushers still available, including Jermann McCoy, Kendrick Falk, Emanuel McNeil Warren, Caleb Lomu, Cassius, Howell, and Zion Young. These guys could lock down the defensive line.
