This has been the most interesting first round draft I’ve seen in years. You had no idea of how it would unfold.
This is the first draft since 1997 when the 49ers drafted Virginia Tech QB Jim Druckenmiller with the 26th pick.
It was also the first draft to have nine trades and six wide receivers selected in the first round.
This is the most trades made in the first round in past few years that were for active players in the league.
With that let’s get into how the first round unfolded.
