The 49ers have decided not to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during the first round of the draft. Instead, they used their 31st overall pick, which was earned by making it to the Super Bowl in 2023. The decision to keep Aiyuk suggests that the team is considering trading Deebo Samuel in order to get younger and cheaper at key positions.
In addition to keeping Aiyuk, the 49ers have also added a new receiver to their roster by selecting Florida’s Ricky Pearsall. This move could be seen as a step towards rebuilding their offense and preparing for the future.
As the draft progresses, fans will be watching closely for any updates on potential trades involving Aiyuk or Samuel. While it’s unclear if either player will ultimately be traded, there is speculation that they could be moved for a second-round pick. Only time will tell how the 49ers continue to navigate their roster and make decisions that will help them improve their team in the long run.
