The 49ers had the rare opportunity in the 2020 NFL Draft to have two first-round picks just months after losing a late lead in Super Bowl LIV. Their two first-round picks have some big shoes to fill, too.
Javon Kinlaw (No. 14) is in the tough position of replacing Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from Day 1. Receiver Brandon Aiyuk (No. 25) has to step in for the departed Emmanuel Sanders while also proving Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch right that he was worth trading up for, and worth passing on the likes of Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb.
