For the San Francisco 49ers, and the other 31 teams in the NFL, work has started right away on the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft crop.
Scouting and then drafting is a year-long process, and the beginning of the college season allows teams to see upcoming stars in power programs beat up on cupcake teams (unless you’re Tennessee, sorry Vols fans).
Already, stocks are moving up and down for prospects, and teams are starting to compile their NFL Draft boards. And the biggest story is if anyone can knock off Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as the top prospect of the class.
