Yes, I think it is in our best interest to trade down. We only have 5 picks.

You always have to have a partner for such a trade and they have to have a need.

SF needs nothing currently and has a boatload of picks. So, they start looking at next seasons defectors. DE Justin Smith will be going into his last season.

DT Richardson is a perfect fit for them. Why should they waste a bunch of later picks when they are more certain to see his replacement sitting at 14 with NO picking next. So here goes.

Carolina trades down to pick #31 and gets #61 and #74 in the trade.

#31 DT Jesse Williams

#44 CB Jamar Taylor

#61 OT Terron Armstead/Kyle Long

#74 OG Brian Winters

#108 WR Aaron Dobson

#148 SS Duke Williams

#182 HBk Chris Gragg

Last mock coming just a day before the actual draft

Like long better than armstead, but long is a better guard

Not trying to argue, but most everyone still has Long as an OT, except maybe Scott Wright. Love to see the Guard information. If so, scratch him, but I think he is very quick off the ball and only a year away from being able to start.

He played a lot of guard at Oregon but also played tackle. He's definitely athletic enough to play OT in the pros but some teams like him better at OG. His versatility and bloodlines are what make him very desirable to NFL teams.

25 Days later, I think I will stick with this one for my final mock also, especially with the reports of late.

I think if Star is there, the Panthers might stand, but other than that, dropping would be best route.

Man I love this scenario! I think we can make a better pick with the #44...but I like this scenario! I don't think it's completely crazy to think that we'll get that #31 and #34 in return for #14. The draft pick value chart is pretty close with these, although the chart is outdated since the new CBA. #14 is worth 1100....#31 + #34 = 1160.....#31 + #61 + #74 = 1117. Make it happen Gettleman!

But props to see this as a potential trade down situation a month ago

We won't trade down unless Austin and Lotuleilei both come off the board IMO. There are a lot of teams ahead of us that want offensive talent so I think Austin will be gone. But I'm starting to think if Lotuleilei gets past the Titans we have a good shot at him. Hoping that is what happens. We need a couple of impact players...I don't see Williams being that for us.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is.

      Offensive Line

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
