NFL Draft 2020: How 49ers' picks look after DeForest Buckner trade

Share

On Monday, the 49ers shocked the world by trading defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round pick (13th overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft. 

It appeared the 49ers were unlikely able to pay Buckner the money he would want after the upcoming season. He was supposed to make $12.378 million this season on the final year of his contract with the team.

With that said, this changes things up slightly for the 49ers' list of draft picks in the upcoming draft.
