Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that she spoke with John Lynch, and the San Francisco 49ers general manager says that the team is receiving "a lot of interest" in its two first-round picks. There isn't, however, a deal currently in place. That doesn't mean one won't get done, though.


The 49ers currently own the No. 13 and No. 31 overall picks. The latter of the two is their original selection, while the former was acquired via the trade that sent defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts.

Lynch also told Anderson that the team continues to shop Marquise Goodwin and that a deal to trade the veteran wide receiver could happen today. That may help the 49ers acquire more draft equity. While the team currently owns seven picks, it lacks a selection between rounds one and five.


Lynch has been very open about Goodwin this week, making it clear that the speedy receiver can be had for the right price. This year's rookie receiver draft class is one of the deepest in recent history, and San Francisco is expected to select a receiver for the 18th consecutive year.


Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft kicks off tonight at 5:00 p.m. PT.
