The 49ers can enter the 2021 draft with their eyes set on a few more trades. They have the draft capital to move through the board of directors and they did it well enough in free agency to be able to meet some specific needs during the draft. General Manager John Lynch will not have to sit back and let the draft take place; you can make some upward moves to catch the players the team wants.

We tried to simulate some of these movements in our regular Sunday session with the PFF simulated draft simulator. This time we ran a three-round drill and pressed the trigger on a recoil operation and a couple of operations were taken care of to meet some San Francisco-specific needs. We also ended it with a trade that did not involve a draft selection.

Here it is:

Fields checks a lot of squares for a better draft selection, and in many years he may be the first off the board. He has a great size of 6-3, 227 pounds, a big arm and a ton of athletics. The fields also seem to carry many of the intangible teams they are looking for in a franchise signal call. In two years at Ohio State, Fields completed 68.4% of his throws for 5,373 yards, 63 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also averaged 9.3 yards per attempt. The 49ers are also in a place where they can let him sit and fix some of the warts in his game before taking over full-time as a starter.

Jacksonville receives: Selection no. 43 (round 2) and 155 (round 5)

San Francisco receives: Selection no. 45 (round 2) and 106 (round 4)

Getting the best selection in the fourth round and giving up one of the three selections in the fifth round to go back two places in the second round is a play with good value without the specific need of a player available in the 43rd selection.

Molden would be a really nice find after re-operating in the second round. He is a defensive back on a Tyrann Mathieu or Budda Baker motif that can line up and be effective in several places. The 49ers could use it as a Swiss Army knife this year before moving it full-time to the slot or safety in the coming seasons. Molden in four years with the Huskies posted 153 attacks, 7.0 loss attacks, five interceptions and 19 passing breaks.

Tennessee receives: Selection no. 102 (round 3) and 117 (round 4)

San Francisco rep: Pick No. 85

This is the kind of move we can see in the 49ers on draft day when they unload part of their mid-round capital to target a specific player they want instead of letting the draft shake up.

Joseph will be a popular selection of the second day among our drills. He’s inexperienced with just 15 college games, but his combination of size, athletics and production last season makes him a very intriguing prospect. The 49ers may have to let it sit for a year to help it develop, but it plans in the long run to be a top-notch outdoor corner.

Baltimore receives: Selection no. 106 (round 4) and 194 (round 6)

San Francisco rep: Pick No. 104 (round 3)

This is another mid-round asset settlement to cover a specific need. Skipping two places and eliminating a sixth-round pick to do so is a good move if there is a top-tier player.

Green had a really impressive college career. He landed on the Illinois campus as a defensive attack and worked on it while turning his freshman season red. His jump to the offensive line came before the following year, when he began all 12 left guard games at Illini. During his college tenure he also began playing at the center. His athleticism and versatility make him a strong prospect for the 49ers who need more depth inside.

Chicago rep: Pick no. 172

San Francisco rep: WR Anthony Miller

The Bears can get more than that if there are multiple bidders for Miller. San Francisco may have to throw a player or move a previous team to move Miller away from Chicago. Still, he’s a good slot machine receiver who could take over from Kendrick Bourne.
