Alex Smith Traded To The Chiefs (How This Could Effect The Panthers Draft)

Alex Smith was traded to the Chiefs for two second round picks. The 49ers now (*possibly) have 15 picks in this years draft... Yes that's right (*possibly) FIFTEEN. Since the 49ers need help in their secondary they could be looking to trade up for someone like Vaccaro or Rhodes. Your thoughts?

I have never heard of a team EVER having that many picks. I think they will be looking to trade up if they find someone they really like. Otherwise I could actually see them trading back and stockpiling more. That franchise is fuging legit.

I want my franchise to be fugging legit :-(

I suspect they might trade a few of those picks to the Jets for Revis. It is great they have 15 picks but it isn't how many picks you have but how well you pick the players you draft. The Patriots were mentioned as an example but my overall impression is that they haven't done that great of job in the draft. They seem to do better picking off veterans in free agency than they do drafting. I could be wrong but that is my impression....................

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
