Following the trade of DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts, the 49ers now have two picks in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft at No. 13 and No. 31.

The 49ers no longer have DeForest Buckner.

The 49ers will not keep Emmanuel Sanders.

In 2011, Mike Person was drafted by the 49ers in the seventh round out of Montana State.

There was a ton of speculation on how the 49ers might handle the 2020 offseason after a heartbreaking Super Bowl loss, but almost nobody thought parting with DeForest Buckner was part of their plans.

When you have a center — like the 49ers do in Weston Richburg — who has had serious lower-body injuries in the past two years, you need a solid backup option.

One of the great questions of the 49ers offseason has been answered, and swiftly at that.

You weren’t supposed to know the names Justin Skule and Daniel Brunskill.

To suggest that the 49ers would effectively choose Arik Armstead over DeForest Buckner a year ago would be blasphemous.

If your head is spinning, you’re not alone.
