8 NFL draft prospects 49ers could target in trade back

The 49ers need to get creative with their use of picks in the 2020 draft.

The interior of the 49ers’ offensive line is perhaps the biggest question mark on the roster. Cushenberry led a terrific LSU offensive front during their run to the national championship, and he could help shore up some of the 49ers’ issues in pass protection on the interior. He can increase his value a ton if he can play multiple spots along the line, but there’s also a chance he can step in and start at center from Day 1 if Weston Richburg isn’t ready after a knee injury ended his season in Week 14. Center specifically isn’t San Francisco’s most pressing need, but they need to start building better depth on the interior, and Cushenberry might fill a need while being the best player available in the second round.
