Looking back at the 7 players drafted at No. 31 overall during Kyle Shanahan’s tenure

Looking back at the 7 players drafted at No. 31 overall during Kyle Shanahan’s tenure

They could trade up if a prospect they covet falls in the draft — likely due to a run on a specific position, namely, quarterback. There’s also the possibility of the Niners trading out of the first round if a team makes an offer they cannot refuse. Today, we’ll act as if the 49ers will stand pat at No. 31 and look back to see who was selected with the second to last pick in...
