49ers Trade Down, Gain Extra Picks

0:00On April 24th, the San Francisco 49ers made waves in the 2026 NFL draft by trading down twice. First, they dealt with the Miami Dolphins, then flipped pick 30 to the New York Jets for picks 33 and 1079. That second move bumped them out of the first round entirely, but it's just three spots back to the top of Round 2. Fans and analysts see it as smart housekeeping since the Niners didn't love anyone left at 30. No panic, just picking up extra ammo for later. Pick 33 sits pretty as the second round opener on Friday night, prime real estate that draws trade calls all day. Expect the phones to ring off the hook for Kyle Shanahan's crew could be more wheeling and dealing before they pull the trigger. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
