The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> didn\u2019t make a pick in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night. And that shouldn\u2019t be a surprise to those who were listening to general manager John Lynch<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 49ers began the evening with pick No. 27, but they traded back twice, in deals with the Dolphins and Jets, to increase their draft stash after entering with just six picks \u2014 their second fewest since 2008 \u2014 and just two selections among the top 125.<\/p>\n

The 49ers began by trading pick No. 27 in a deal with Miami in which they received picks No. 30 and a third-rounder (No. 90) while giving up a fourth-rounder (No. 138). They followed by trading No. 30 to the Jets in exchange for No. 33, the first pick of the second round, and a fifth-rounder (No. 179).<\/p>\n

Lynch had noted Monday that the 49ers would be open to moving back in the first round. Only two teams, the Seahawks (four) and Chargers (five), entered the draft with fewer picks than the 49ers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have a ton of picks in this draft, right?\u201d Lynch said. \u201cSo it does make some sense to\u00a0\u2014 how can we find some more picks? We\u2019ll certainly be open to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers now have seven selections: Nos. 33 (second round), 58 (second), 90 (third), 127 (fourth), 133 (fourth), 139 (fourth) and 179 (fifth). \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Lynch had said this year\u2019s draft is deep at wide receiver, edge rusher and offensive line, which are among the 49ers\u2019 top needs.<\/p>\n

At No. 33, the 49ers had attractive options with prospects such as Washington\u00a0wideout Denzel Boston and Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell available.<\/p>\n

The big-bodied Boston (6-foot-5, 212 pounds) had 125 catches for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns in his final two seasons. Howell was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year after he had 11 sacks in 2025. Howell likely fell out of first round due to his arm length (30\u00bc inches), a key measurement for pass rushers. Howell\u2019s arms were the shortest among defensive linemen at the combine.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Lynch said the 49ers were open to trading pick No. 33, but indicated it was unlikely because they had a player in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d be foolish to not listen (to trade offers), and so we will do that,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cBut we have a good idea where we\u2019re going and looking forward to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers entered the draft with an agreement in place with the Dolphins to swap first-round picks if players the 49ers were targeting at No. 27 were off the board. Lynch said there were a \u201ccouple players\u201d the 49ers would have taken had they been available. He was asked whether one of those players was Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion, who visited the 49ers before the draft. The Browns took Concepcion at No. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe liked KC a lot,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cA tremendous young man, really. Has great ability with the ball in his hands. Fun player to scout. Fun player to watch. \u2026 I think he\u2019s going to have a nice, nice future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the players they were considering drafting at No. 30, before their trade with the Jets, will be available when they are on the clock to start the second round Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at it as a huge success to come back to 33 \u2014 we would have still taken those guys at 30,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cNow, at 27 we were hoping for a couple of things and we missed those.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers didn\u2019t make a pick in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,296,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-283294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco","8":"tag-san-francisco","9":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","10":"tag-san-francisco-headlines","11":"tag-san-francisco-news","12":"tag-sf","13":"tag-sf-headlines","14":"tag-sf-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
