NFL Draft 2020: Why 49ers trade up for Chase Young at No. 2 won’t happen

We're one week away from the start of the 2020 NFL Draft, and the 49ers' plans still are a mystery. They have two first-round picks, but it remains to be seen if they'll use both to select prospects, or possibly trade one or both to accumulate additional picks.

While San Francisco could trade back from either selection to accomplish that goal, NBC Sports Bay Area's Donte Whitner believes the 49ers should go the complete opposite direction.

That being: Trade up.

Whitner, an alumnus of Ohio State University, believes the 49ers should go back to the same well that resulted in the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year this past season.
