49ers Insider Proposes Trade Back with Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers insider Matt Maiocco has proposed the team trade back from the No. 27 overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for multiple selections.

The proposed deal involves the 49ers sending the No. 27 pick to Arizona in exchange for the No. 34 pick in the second round, No. 104 in the fourth round, and No. 143 in the fifth round. Maiocco argues that while the move risks aiding the division rival in acquiring a quarterback, the 49ers desperately need additional opportunities to find star talent in this year's draft class.
