Broncos trade 22nd pick to 49ers

ESPN.com has reported that the Broncos have traded the 22nd pick in the NFL draft to the 49ers for the 37th and 68th pick in the draft. This gives San Fran 2 picks in the opening round and gives the Broncos 7 picks in the first 4 rounds of the draft.

The 49ers moving into this spot could indicate that they are after RB Lawrence Maroney, OLB Chad Greenway, OLB Bobby Carpenter, or DB (and possibly WR) Antonio Cromartie.

For the Broncos the move could mean they are satisfied with the RBs in their backfield and won't go after a RB until day 2 of the draft.
