If I was asked about trading up last night as Gettleman was, I would probably answer the question the same way. If you say yes and don't end up trading up, the fan base loses their minds. Trading up before a round has even started is so hard to predict. Hopefully a couple of the top WRs drop 10 picks into the second and we jump. Need a day 1 difference maker at WR and Smith and Strong fit the bill.

Go get Devin Smith.

I could see us going OLB/SS in the 1st (Shaq Thompson)

I want Devin Smith in the 2nd! He'd bring that explosiveness to this offense that we're so badly missing!

At some point we need to address the obvious need that is LT but this class seems to be getting weaker and weaker with each passing week

It's happening

We have extra picks. I see us utilizing them to move up at some point.  Getlleman even said in his pre-draft presser that havin 9 picks means going after less UDFAs. And we all know how he loves the UDFA market.  I think we'll see us move up in the 3rd round.

Gettleman also he doesn't want to give up his 2nd and 3rd round picks because they're too valuable...but the 2nd and 3rd round picks don't have to be at 57 or 89 either.

It could also mean he isn't opposed to trading picks from Rounds 4 - 7 to move up. He was saying its important to have a pick in Rounds 1, 2 and 3. He isn't opposed to trading. He's just opposed to using picks from Rounds 2 and 3 as the ammo.

Apparently Gettleman said he won't be trading up in rounds two or three, but that doesn't jive with some things I have heard. 

 

 

 

Also, I drank too much last night. I blame all of you. 

 

Which players do you think they value enough to move up and get?

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
