Colin Kaepernick wants to be traded. The biggest news from the combine on Thursday was a report that the 49ers quarterback has asked the team for permission to seek a trade.

But maybe they're going a different route in the draft, since the 49ers met with QB Dak Prescott at the combine. The San Francisco 49ers need to figure out their quarterback situation. They have met with one so far at the NFL Combine. I imagine they will meet with more.
