"49ers Draft Strategy: Examining Trade Options and Top Picks for 2023"

The San Francisco 49ers are not scheduled to make a selection until the 99th pick of the 2023 NFL draft, prompting speculation about the cost of trading up and whether the team has the draft capital to do so. Using the Fitzgerald/Spielberger chart, the 49ers' 2023 draft haul is currently valued at 4,373 points. Recent trades in the third round of the 2022 draft show that the team trading back came away with a sizable advantage in point total based on the chart. However, the 49ers' talent-rich roster may put them in a better position to part with extra capital.
