The San Francisco 49ers made it all the way to the Super Bowl last season, what are some positions that they need to address in the 2020 NFL Draft?

The San Francisco 49ers made it all the way to the Super Bowl last season but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs; their defense last season was nothing short of elite. The Niners drafted defensive end Nick Bosa with the second overall pick in the draft and it was the best decision they have done in recent memory. Can they have similar luck in the 2020 NFL Draft?

Bosa was defensive rookie of the year and no one should have been even close to that. 49ers fans, you could Jimmy G was the best thing that has happened to you guys in recent memory, the 49ers in my opinion, overpaid on Jimmy G’s extension when he was signed over. I like Jimmy G a lot, but you gave $144 million contract to player that played five games for you. I guess it is paying off now.

I want to talk about this trade that the 49ers did this offseason that gained them another first-round pick, in the top 15. The Niners sent defensive tackle Deforest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for exchange the Colts sent San Francisco their 13th overall draft pick. I think this was a really good trade for both teams, Buckner wanted to get paid and the 49ers did not have the money to do it. The Colts have a bunch of money, send him there and have him get paid and inn exchange for that, just take the Colts first-round pick. The 49ers can now pick up Javon Kinlaw if he falls, which would be the best case for San Francisco.
