5/5: The 49ers could target Zach Mettenberger if he makes it into Day 3, according to Matt Maiocco, CSN Bay Area.

2/14: “49ers Could see trade fitting as high as 12 with Giants. That could land Evans or Lee and not ruin entire draft.” – Bill Williamson, ESPN

1/24: “Trent Murphy is on the radar for the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers don’t have a big need at the position, but with a plethora of picks, they could stand to get some pass rushing depth and that isn’t a bad idea considering Aldon Smith’s situation.” – Charlie Campbell
Denver Broncos:
