Fri Apr 24, 2026 --from FFMastermind.com

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports the 49ers, Cardinals, and Bills have received calls about potential trades at the top of Round #2 tonight, setting up what could be a busy trade night. It makes sense as Round #1 ended with five of the final seven picks being traded. The 49ers are considered “very open” to moving back and continuing to acquire draft capital at #33. They’re targeting several players and don’t necessarily need to pick at #33 to land one of them.
