The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books. The San Francisco 49ers made a total of eight selections and used five of them on offensive players.
Of course, the most significant pick for the Niners came at No. 3 overall when they took North Dakota State QB, Trey Lance. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made their move up the draft board by sending the No. 12 pick this year, first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, plus a 2022 third-rounder to the Miami Dolphins to move up nine spots.
Everyone knew they made the move to get their QB of the future, but the question in the month leading up to the draft was which one it would be. The first two picks were seemingly set in stone, and they went as expected.
