=== Niners acquire first-round pick from Broncos === Englewood, CO (My Sportsbook) - The San Francisco 49ers acquired the 22nd overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft from the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. "We took advantage of a great opportunity to acquire a second first-round draft pick today after working out a trade with the Denver Broncos," 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said. "We feel like we acquired more value by making the trade for this pick. I am looking forward to improving our team with all ten draft picks, including the two first-round picks. We will continue to build this team through the draft." The Broncos will receive selections in the second round (37th overall) and the third round (68th overall) in return. The 49ers will now have two first-round picks in the draft, the sixth overall selection as well as No. 22. Denver originally acquired the 22nd overall pick from Washington in a trade last April. The trade enabled the Redskins to secure Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell in the first round. |
