San Francisco 49ers: Post-scouting combine 2020 mock NFL Draft

What do you know? Another trade for San Francisco after landing two from the Bears.

John Lynch uses the second of his two picks from Chicago in another trade down, this time executing a move with the Philadelphia Eagles, who either need to restock their wide receiver or cornerback crops, and give up pick No. 53 overall and their own fourth-round pick (No. 117 overall before compensatory picks are announced) to get to No. 50.

Armed with a fourth-round pick after the deal, Lynch takes care of what could be a budding issue along the center of his offensive line. There’s speculation the 49ers could move on from right guard Mike Person, who commands zero in guaranteed money this upcoming year and would generate $2.5 million in cap space with no dead money if cut.

Considering Person is 31 years old, the move makes some sense.

As a plug-and-play replacement, the Niners look to Washington interior offensive lineman Nick Harris to fill the void.

Harris, 6-foot-1 and 302 pounds, is a bit too undersized to play on the outside. But as a zone-style interior lineman, he’s an excellent fit.

Just ask out friends over at NFL Mocks:

"Overall, I like Harris as a starting NFL center as long as his team works to keep him on the move. He is undoubtedly best served for a zone scheme but could be an asset in a gap scheme if his team works to get him out in space whenever possible."

Blocking in space is something Kyle Shanahan would want along the interior, considering the outside-zone scheme he runs.
