The 49ers had a sizable wrench thrown into their offseason plans when wide receiver Deebo Samuel requested a trade. With about a week left until the NFL draft, moving on from the All-Pro wide receiver changes the dynamic of San Francisco’s 2022 draft in two significant ways.
First, assuming the deal happens before the first round of the draft on April 28, they’d have additional capital to work with this year. They don’t pick until No. 61, and any deal for Samuel would likely mean at least one selection prior to that. The team may even require a first-round pick in order to pry the star receiver away from them.
