Would you trade up for Star Lotulelei?

I'm seeing a lot of people including myself don't like Richardson at 14. He's a pass rusher not really a good fit here. I have a hard time seeing Star Lotulelei fall past the bucs at 13.The only other options i see outside of tayvon would be if one of the offensive linemen fell. Not many are projecting that to happen here so, instead of forcing a pick here would you move up for him and what would you be willing to give up? I'm open to maybe giving up a two next* year for him. What say you?

I'd love to, but we're not really in a position to do it. We only have 5 picks this year and we're already short a 3rd. We don't have much on the roster to offer as trade bait either. I hope we're done trading away future picks.

If we were the 49ers sitting on 14 fuging picks, I'd say hell yeah.

No way. DT success rate in the first round is horrid. I think I read somewhere like 48% or something. It's almost not even worth taking a DT in the first, ever, unless some once-in-a-decade player is available. I know all positions are a guessing game to an extent but 48% just isn't enticing.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
