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.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
