The San Francisco 49ers wheeled and dealed with the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots to end up with picks Nos. 59, 70 and  74 on day two of the 2018 NFL Draft, here we examine some possible targets in Rounds 2 and 3 the Niners could target.

If San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch showed one thing right away about his style after being named to the team’s front office early in 2017, it’s that he wasn’t shy about trading up, down or for somebody.

The Niners ended up with a lot of currency in Rounds 1 to 3 for 2018, with a top 10 pick and two picks each in Rounds 2 and 3.

Of course, the 49ers have only one pick in Round 2 now, but I think the guy who came over in that trade, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, was kind of worth it.

But while year one of the Lynch/Kyle Shanahan era received a pass mark by the vast majority, there’s still a lot to overhaul after the Trent Baalke era. Niner Noise writer Peter Panacy recently wrote an article detailing that over 70 percent of players from the Baalke era have moved on, with that number set to rise.

Not every hole San Francisco has will be filled by a first-round pick or free agency, so, in no particular order of preference, here are a few day two options for the Niners to consider.
