The San Francisco 49ers are tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the most picks in the upcoming NFL Draft (they each have 11).
It’s fitting, as the Niners have lost multiple starters on both sides of the ball this offseason and currently have multiple huge voids to fill.
Noting the 49ers were still “searching for a quality complement to edge-rusher Nick Bosa,” Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox put together a trade proposal that would bring the NFL’s reigning sack leader to the Bay Area: Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
“While the San Francisco 49ers may not be undergoing a full-on rebuild this offseason, they have allowed several key contributors to walk and must now find ways to replace them,” Knox wrote on April 4, adding:
“San Francisco is equipped with two third-round picks—it was awarded a special compensatory selection for the external hirings of DeMeco Ryans and Ran Carthon. It could offer both selections, along with a fairly sizeable first-round jump, to Cincinnati for Hendrickson.”
