2020 NFL mock draft: Final 1st-round projections with trades

Luke Easterling makes his final projections for the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with a handful of big trades and surprise picks

13. San Francisco 49ers (from IND)

Justin Jefferson | WR | LSU

Four in a row? Why not. This pick feels like something that’s gaining more and more steam, both in terms of Jefferson’s rising stock and the way he would fit exactly what Kyle Shanahan wants for his offense.

Jefferson’s well-rounded skill set would pair perfectly with the versatility of Deebo Samuel, giving Jimmy Garoppolo a smooth route-runner with an extremely polished game. He’s ready to make an impact from Day 1, fills a big need, and appears to be trending toward the top-15 range.

Moving back would be an option in this scenario, as would taking someone like South Carolina’s Javon Kinlaw to replace DeForest Buckner, whom they traded for this pick. If they don’t get the right deal, though, don’t be surprised if Jefferson ends up being their man.
