The 49ers are moving up the board, acquiring pick No. 129 from the Jets. In return, San Francisco will send New York picks No. 173 and No. 176.
The team has used their new selection on Louisville running back Isaac Guerendo.
After transferring from Wisconsin to Louisville for the 2023 campaign, Guerendo had a breakout season. The running back finished the year with 1,044 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns, and he also returned 11 kickoffs for 211 yards.
Guerendo will look to compete for backup reps behind Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco. The Niners are still rostering Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason, and they also added Patrick Taylor Jr. to the group. It may take the rookie some time until he’s able to break into the rotation, but he should be able to contribute on special teams for the time being.
Nice pick. Dude is a speed demon
Absolutely love the player but to trade two 5th round picks for a non need is a head scratcher! Jordan Mason could start for any team and so could Mitchell. Smh. Not to mention the best back in the league in CMC
