Only general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan knew exactly what the 49ers would do Thursday in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

After one trade down and another move up, the 49ers landed South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw and Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

Lynch and Shanahan addressed two areas of need, adding players that could make an instant impact on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

Here's how 49ers players reacted to the selections of Kinlaw and Aiyuk:
