NFL Draft Rumors: 49ers Open To Trading Both First Round Picks

The 49ers are currently slated to select at the No. 13 and 31 slots on Thursday night.

The 49ers are listening to offers for their two first-round draft picks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. San Francisco is currently slated to select at the No. 13 and 31 slots on Thursday night.

The 49ers do not have any picks in the second, third or fourth rounds so they are exploring their options, according to Schefter. The second-round pick was shipped to the Chiefs in last year's Dee Ford trade. The third- and fourth-round picks were sent to the Broncos in the Emmanuel Sanders deal.

San Francisco has met with Portland State tight end Charlie Taumoepeau, Utah linebacker Francis Bernard, South Alabama running back Tra Minter as some of their draft targets.

The 49ers do not hold any other draft picks until No. 156 overall on Saturday.
