Trade up from 31 targets

I don't want to trade up but if someone starts to fall past say pick 20 who would that realistically be and who would you go get?

Troy Fautanu - I'm starting to think he goes in the top 15. Earlier in the process he was close to pick 32
Taliese Fuaga - I could see him fall to the early 20s
Olumuyiwa Fashanu - Still considered the #2 LT in the draft. but he's been slowly slipping in rankings and mocks lately. Could he slide to 20???

Some teams may view this as a heavy OT class and may decide to go get their tackle in the 2nd rd. Hopefully...
Barton. Trade up to low 20s to ensure we get him. We have plenty of picks to make it happen. Low 20s for a 10 year starter at multiple positions is a no brainer.
Trade up for OT. If we have to go BPA at 31 and take WR, CB, IOL, DL then I can live with that, but not trading up for those positions.

Fautanu and Fuaga for sure. Fashanu seems like a one trick pony at LT so that may eliminate him from consideration because Trent is still on the roster. Barton or Powers-Johnson should be on this list, too. Niners need a C/OG in the worst way. Also need to include Brian Thomas Jr. at WR if they trade Aiyuk.

JC Latham and Brian Thomas are the only ones I'd trade up for.
Murphy would be my first choice but he is getting top 10 projections, he might be out of reach.

Terrion Arnold is the only CB I would trade up for realistically

Could see for a OT like Fashanu or Latham. the others I don't think I would trade up for, not very far at least

Maybe a surprise WR pick. Edge? not sure who they would specifically target. Jared Verse?
Latham, Jackson Powers, or Mims.

You think we should trade up for QBs? Weird but you do you

Fuaga is more likely to go around 10 then to fall to 20s. But if somehow he does the 49ers should be aggressive and get him.
Fautanu and Fuaga would be a dream if they fell to around 20. If either of them did Lynch should be on the phone doing whatever he can to move up and snag him.

Yup, Fuaga is the one that I want and he's not getting out of top 15.That's why my eyes started focusing on the other guys instead. Maybe Fautanu but he has been climbing after showing his athleticism at the combine.

No on Latham. Has no foot speed. He'd be better in a power scheme.

JPJ or Mims I'd love!

Hmm… I don't see that from his film. It wouldn't shock me if Latham is a top 10 pick too. I love Mims as well.

Versatility is a little overrated tbh. Maybe he'd be a great center, but there's not much evidence IMO.

We need a tackle because this is probably Trent's last year.
