My 2 GUARENTEES for the draft

[Peppermint9030]

The first guarentee is not Panther related, but living in detroit I have an opinion.

1. The Detroit Lions will take CB/S Eric Berry out of Tennessee when Suh goes number 1 because the Rams will trade down to take bradford.

2. Our Carolina Panthers WILL trade with the niners to get our pick back for next yrs 1 and a 2nd. We will then draft DE Grahmn from Michigan university.

This is the all or nothing season for Fox and company they will trade to get this pick and will take Grahmn because they have already stressed they want to build this line as a UNIT, and we all know our philosophy is drafting. These are 2 guarentees I have for this draft. The trades might be different but we will have Grahmn and Berry will be a lion.

I think we will trade back into the 1st round this year, but I don't see us getting our pick back from SF, they have allot of needs to fill.

I'd guess SF will be interested in bundling and trading those 1st round picks to jump up and grab either Bradford or Clausen.

I think we trade up too but we end up taking a DT or DE & we get a WR in free agency.

I still think SF will give Smith the chance to show he is the long term option at QB before they draft someone high. The worst that happens is he is terrible this year and they end up with a guy like Locker next year.

Peppermint9030, exactly what is it that you think that we will trade. I don't see us trading anything other than maybe next years draft pick again. I don't see a trade, although I do think that we will be a bigger player in FA this year, especially since we've dump Pep, unless he resigns.

I really hope berry ends up sumwhere else besides Oakland or Detroit !!!

[Swarly]

if the 49ers don't draft an offensive tackle with at least one of their picks I'll stop posting until pre-season starts

[KillerKat]

They should draft OL with both their first rounders

I think Trent Williams ends up in SF.

Sorry to bust your bubble but I highly doubt anyone, including us, trades any future picks in this draft. The reason behind this is that there is a potential lockout coming and those picks would be worthless if there is no draft next year. I would bet that the best we can do is trade back and pick up some more choices. We really aren't in a good spot for the top DE's or DT's. I would be happy getting Andre Roberts but we can pull that off later in round 2. If we can trade back and pick up an extra 3rd or 4th I'd be happy.

No, just no. I've been saying this all along, St. Louis should take Jimmy Clausen number 1. Whether they will or not remains to be seen but that's the right pick.

There will be a draft next year regardless of a lockout.

Because all we need is another undersized DE.

No way the lions take a S.If McCoy is still on the board

Yea thats what I was thinking. If Schefter is right and the Rams take Clausen or Bradford #1 then Suh will be a Lion unless someone wows them with a trade offer. If the OP's scenario plays out with a trade at the top spot happening then McCoy will be in Detroit this season.
