Trade deadline passes with no reported moves by 49ers

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone. Despite ESPN's Adam Schefter stating that the 49ers were the team to watch -- most likely because of the surplus of draft picks in their possession -- there were no reported moves by San Francisco. In fact, there was only one league trade that occurred. It was a deal that sent former 49ers defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga from Philadelphia to New England.
According to CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora, the 49ers were shopping CB Nnamdi Asomugha, WR Jon Baldwin, and RB Anthony Dixon. Schefter tweeted that the 49ers were working the phones trying to make some moves prior to the 1 PM Pacific deadline.
Now the 49ers move forward and must prepare some roster moves for players that will be coming back shortly. 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that defensive lineman Tank Carradine, who has been practicing,
would be the first player activated onto the team's 53 man roster.
The 49ers are currently on their bye week and will not play again until their
November 10 matchup against the Carolina Panthers at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

Insider provides clarity on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors
A questionable rumor surfaced on Wednesday regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers' interest in San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Sports Illustrated contributor Noah Strackbein reported that the AFC team was seemingly confident they could pull off a trade for Aiyuk.
However, the credibility of this report comes into question due to the assertion that the Steelers believe they could acquire Aiyuk at a bargain price, possibly in exchange for a second-round draft pick and a late-round selection.

Why one analyst is worried for Brock Purdy if 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy achieved a remarkable feat in 2023, setting a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. This accomplishment is noteworthy, considering the illustrious quarterbacks who have graced the organization's history.
A significant portion of those yards came from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a career-high and team-leading 1,342 receiving yards. Most of his 75 catches originated from passes thrown by Purdy.
Amidst significant offseason chatter surrounding the 49ers' star receiver, including several unsubstantiated trade rumors, Aiyuk's future remains uncertain. Former NFL player James Jones, now an analyst, expressed concern for Purdy should Aiyuk's tenure in the Bay Area come to an end.

7-round mock draft: 49ers trade up to fortify secondary
The San Francisco 49ers first selection in next week's draft comes at No. 31 overall. However, NFL Media analyst Chad Reuter doesn't have the Bay Area team remaining at that spot in the first round. In his seven-round mock draft, he envisions the 49ers striking a deal with the Green Bay Packers to move up six spots to No. 25 overall, where they select former Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Reuter notes, "Whether it's for a cornerback like McKinstry, an offensive lineman or a receiver, the 49ers could very well give up a mid-round pick to acquire one of the few missing pieces on an otherwise potent roster."
The rest of the mock draft reveals at least part of the
