49ers Keep Jones, Target Second-Round Trade

0:00On April 24th, the San Francisco 49ers stood pat in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, neither adding nor losing any. Players, their backup quarterback, Jones, remains firmly on the roster after no team stepped up with a trade offer. Shanahan spoke to reporters Thursday night, saying he'd be shocked if Jones isn't still a 9er come next season. He admitted surprised that nobody ponied up a first-round pick, but figures that window has closed for good. Teams knew the 49ers wanted at least a second rounder for their reliable backup, who steadied the ship when needed and knows the offense inside. Out. That kind of experience helped push them toward the playoffs. Now with the number 33 pick in the second round as their top trade asset, the team is open to deals there. But Shanahan's words, signal Jones, is off the block, no matter the draft capital on the table. Expect the 49ers to roll with that depth chart intact, prioritizing stability over any late shake-ups.
