The 49ers made a huge splash Saturday when reports surfaced that they acquired left tackle Trent Williams in a trade with Washington. In exchange for the seven-time Pro Bowler, San Francisco sent Washington a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft, and a third-round selection in 2021.
This is the third trade the 49ers have made throughout the three-day draft. They also moved three picks across two trades to acquire Dee Ford last offseason and Emmanuel Sanders in the middle of last season.
Here’s an updated list of their Day 3 picks:
Round 6, Pick 210
Round 7, Pick 217 (via Detroit)
The 49ers since last offseason have traded their picks in Rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 in this year’s draft. They also moved the fourth-round selection they picked up when they slid back a spot in the first round to move back up from No. 31 to No. 25, and the Williams trade involved the fifth-round pick they recouped from the Broncos in the Sanders deal.
Barring a trade down from either of those spots, the 49ers will have a maximum of four players selected in the 2020 draft. They’re making a significant gamble that Williams will be back to Pro Bowl form after missing all of last season, and that first-round picks Javon Kinlaw and Brandon Aiyuk will step in and be contributors right away.
