This week, a couple of reports have indicated the 49ers have been considering a trade to move up to get the No. 1 overall pick in this month's draft.Jason Cole of Bleacher Report wrote Monday that, "according to two sources," the Niners have had "brief conversations" with the Tennessee Titans, who own the No. 1 pick.San Francisco has the No. 7 pick in the first round and its quarterback situation is murky. Colin Kaepernick remains on the roster – for now – as does Blaine Gabbert. But if the 49ers are determined to rebuild their franchise, they may believe they must bring in a top quarterback prospect. With the No. 1 pick, they could have their choice of Cal's Jared Goff or North Dakota State's Carson Wentz, considered the top two passers in the draft.Niners general manager Trent Baalke has 12 picks in this year's draft, so he certainly has some chips to use. And the Titans – who already took a quarterback last year in Marcus Mariota – aren't in the market for another one.

According to O'Brien, the 49ers sought the No. 17 overall pick, plus wide receiver Zay Jones, in exchange for Aiyuk. However, it seems this asking price was deemed too high for the Jaguars, who would have had to part ways with these assets and commit significant money to Aiyuk in the form of a contract

The San Francisco 49ers focused on defense in free agency but still have several needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The team did not address the offensive line, and it's a safe bet they will do so with some rookie selections next month. The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver

Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team.

That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized. 49ers insider Matt Barrows of
