That’s good news for the 49ers if the player they want isn’t available<\/p>\n

On Monday<\/a>, Albert Breer reported that the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> plan to keep Mike McGlinchey<\/a> on the right side, and Kyle Shanahan is interested in a speedy receiver. Breer also talked about a few teams wanting to trade up. Those teams all happen to be picking shortly after the 49ers:<\/p>\n

O.K., so who is looking at trading up? Three teams that seem to be investigating it pretty pointedly: Tampa, Denver, and Atlanta. The Bucs and Broncos<\/a>, I’ve heard, could be going up for one of the top four linemen (Becton, Jedrick Wills, Tristan Wirfs, and Andrew Thomas), making Jacksonville’s slot, at No. 9, a potential hotspot, given the needs the Browns<\/a> and Jets<\/a> have at 10 and 11. It’s not as clear what the Falcons<\/a> would be pursuing, though GM Thomas Dimitroff has always, in the past, been more proactive than most in looking at the option of moving up.<\/p>\n

The odds that one of those four falls are high. Let’s break that down. Joe Burrow, Chase Young, Tua Tagovailoa, Derrick Brown, and Isaiah Simmons are the top-10 locks that you can put a stamp on and seal the envelope with. After those five, the likelihood of Jeff Okudah, Justin Herbert, Wills, and Becton being gone or significantly high as well. That brings us to nine players, which, to Breer’s point, makes Jacksonville’s 9th pick a hot spot. The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
