Niners Eye Thibodeaux Trade, Shake Up Draft Plan

0:00It's April 21st. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. The San Francisco 49ers are eyeing some big moves ahead of the 2026 NFL draft and trading for New York Giants' edge-rusher K-Bahn. Tibido could shake up their whole plan. At 26 years old, he's got proven upside from an 11.5-saxies in early on, but the 9ers see him as a way to plug their edge. Wash hole without burning early picks. Giants might let him go since he's buried behind a dual-carter and Brian Burns on the depth chart. Plus, he's heading into a contract year after two. Entry plague seasons with just eight-saxx total. Reports say they're open to deals, especially with his value dipped a bit lately. For the 9ers, the price could be sweet of fourth-round pick, and they've got four of those to play with. That keeps their premium draft capital intact while adding a vet with NFL experience over some unproven rookie, like a keen messi-door, who's the same age, but still a prospect.

1:02Risks are real, though. Tibido has a matchesp production recently, and he'd need a new deal down the line. Still, that high-end potential at a bargain makes him tempting compared to drafting mid-round gambles. Landing him would free the 9ers to target offensive line, safety, or wide receiver early, reshaping their roster build into something smarter and more balanced for the long-haul.
