Last week, the 49ers thought they had a chance to sign Richard Sherman if he was released by the Seahawks. And they were positive about this: They knew they had zero chance to acquire the All-Pro cornerback if Seattle tried to deal him. "Everyone had an idea that he might get released, but we also knew going into it that they might be trying to trade him," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "We kind of knew we wouldn't be trade partner just for obvious reasons. We knew he wouldn't be a shot for us unless he got released.

We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick.
