The San Francisco 49ers are fielding trade inquiries regarding the No. 33 overall selection as the NFL Draft moves into its second round, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The No. 33 pick, which serves as the opening selection of Round 2, is traditionally a high-value asset for teams looking to move up and secure prospects who may have unexpectedly slipped out of the first round. Per Pelissero, reporting on "Good Morning Football," the trade momentum established during a busy opening night is expected to carry over into the draft's second day.
While the 49ers are currently listening to offers, it remains to be seen if a team will meet their asking price to take over the top spot of the second round. The high volume of calls indicates a competitive market for the pick as several high-caliber players remain available on the draft board following the conclusion of Thursday night's festivities.
This pick represents the first opportunity for teams to reset their boards, and aggressive front offices often look to jump the line to secure their preferred targets before the rest of the round unfolds. San Francisco's willingness to move the pick could shift the landscape of the early second round significantly.
