49ers 2020 NFL Draft preview: Secondary should be No. 1 need

If one were to point out the San Francisco 49ers‘ two weakest positions coming off their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV, the answer would most likely be wide receiver and cornerback.

You can swap the needs for No. 1 on the team’s list if you want. And with two picks in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft, it might not matter to the Niners anyway. General manager John Lynch can use the first pick on one position, then the next pick to grab a reinforcement for the other.

Yet one thing that could ultimately sway the difference in favor of the secondary is the fact that, while still pretty deep, cornerback is nowhere close to the depth in the draft at wide receiver this season.
