49ers draft DT Kinlaw and WR Aiyuk in 1st round

The Associated Press - The San Francisco 49ers have drafted South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw 14th overall in the NFL draft.

The Niners traded the 13th overall pick they acquired from Indianapolis last month for star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to move down one spot and take Buckner's replacement. San Francisco also got the 117th overall pick to give them a fourth-rounder and gave up the 245th pick in the deal.

The 49ers later traded up six spots to take receiver Brandon Aiyuk with the 25th selection.

The picks help the defending NFC champions fill two big holes created last month when star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was traded to Indianapolis and receiver Emmanuel Sanders left in free agency. Aiyuk had a breakthrough season in 2019 for Arizona State with 65 catches for 1,192 yards and eight TDs.
