With just three days until the 2020 NFL Draft kicks off, a number of teams are discussing potential deals regarding early-round picks. The San Francisco 49ers appear to be one of them.

San Francisco is currently fielding calls about both of its first-round selections - No. 13 and No. 31 overall - and is open to trading one or both, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Following their second first-rounder, the 49ers won't be on the clock until the fifth - 156th overall - and are looking to acquire more picks Schefter adds.

John Lynch was among the league's most aggressive general managers in 2019, leading to a successful campaign. He acquired Dee Ford for a second-round pick last offseason and dealt a third-rounder for Emmanuel Sanders before October's trade deadline.

The reigning NFC champions then landed the No. 13 overall pick from the Indianapolis Colts in March by trading away DeForest Buckner.

Elsewhere, the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos are among the teams rumored to be interested in trading up in Round 1 on Thursday, while the Detroit Lions (No. 3 overall) and New York Giants (No. 4 overall) have both expressed some interest in moving back.
