Joe Staley retired after the 2019 season, but that didn’t end his involvement with the 49ers. While head coach Kyle Shanahan has tried pushing the former left tackle to coaching, the team will utilize him in a different capacity this year. Staley will announce the team’s Day 2 draft picks according to Matt Barrrows of the Athletic, confirming a report from Leo Luna on Thursday.
The 49ers are slated to pick three times on Day 2 of this year’s draft, with all three picks coming in the final four of the third round. They’re on the clock at Nos. 99, 101 and 102. That 102nd selection is the final choice in Round 3. San Francisco could trade up, but wherever they pick, it’ll be Staley announcing it instead of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
