Kaepernick, Roman and Harbaugh: How they’re all tied together (and how they’re not) in the 49ers’ upcoming series of decisions

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.
