Colts to trade 2020 1st-round pick to 49ers for DeForest Buckner

Another blockbuster move that impacts the 2020 NFL draft, and this time, in the first round.

The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to send the No. 13 overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers for defensive lineman DeForest Buckner, who is signing a massive deal in Indy:

Trade AND deal: Colts trade first-round pick (13th overall) to 49ers for All-Pro DT DeForest Buckner, who already has agreed to a massive contract that pays him $21 million a year and makes him the second-highest paid DT in NFL history behind only Aaron Donald, sources tell ESPN.

Blockbuster: The #49ers are trading Pro Bowl DL DeForest Buckner to the #Colts, sources say, in exchange for a first-round pick. A massive deal for both teams, with one of SF’s key players on the move.

The deal gives the Colts the interior presence they need along their defensive line, while giving the 49ers some much-needed draft capital.

More to come.
