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

31. San Francisco 49ers

Jaylon Johnson | CB | Utah

The 49ers would love to move off of this pick, but I just don’t see another team near the top of the second round needing to move up for anyone still on the board in this scenario.

If forces to stick and pick, the 49ers have some strong options at multiple positions of need. TCU defensive lineman Ross Blacklock is a solid candidate to replace Buckner, but I think they’re better off investing this pick in a corner to groom alongside Richard Sherman.

Johnson has all the things NFL teams love in a top corner prospect: Size, length, athleticism, ball skills and confidence. He’s a perfect fit, and worthy of this spot.
