During the first round of the NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers decided to hold onto wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk instead of trading him. Instead, they used their 31st overall pick, which was earned by reaching the Super Bowl in 2023. In addition to this, they also selected Florida receiver Ricky Pearsall to add to their roster.
This decision comes at a time when the 49ers are considering trading either Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel in order to get younger and cheaper at key positions. The choice to draft Pearsall indicates that they are moving in that direction.
The question arises as to whether Aiyuk or Samuel will be traded on Friday. There is speculation that they could be traded for a second-round pick. Fans will have to wait and see how the 49ers continue to navigate their roster and make decisions to improve their team. Stay tuned for more updates as the draft unfolds.
