Teams moving up in the draft .How will it affect us?

I see more teams than usual moving up this year:

> San Francisco- With 13 draft picks and a stocked roster who might the 49ers trade up for?

> Atlanta- We all know they have dangled the carrot to get either a db or outside rusher.Will they jump in front of us?

> Jets- Not a trade up but a likely trade with Tampa for Revis

> Vikings have 11 picks with two in the 1st.I look for them to move up to get Harvins replacement

> The Rams have 8 picks with 2 in the first.I look for them to move up for possibly a WR

> The Bengals have 8 picks with 2 second round pick.If there is a player they love they could use one of those 2nd round picks

>Miami- has 9 picks with 2 2nd round picks that should allow them to move up in the 1st if they should need that OT

I feel this draft is difficult to mock simply because there is so many moving parts.How does everyone think this could alter the players most likely to fall to the Panthers? Could the Panthers be a target after what Gettlemen said about trading down?

My guess is that Austin will be gone.I could see someone moving up for a pass rusher and OL as well.

I think Detroit and Oakland will be able to move down.

it won't be an easy sell if someone wants our 14. gettleman set the stage for that. had he said we are looking to trade back, we wouldn't get much. concern about getting 3 dimes for our dollar makes the price go up.

if we don't make the trade, we still get a couple good starters and on of the best personnel guys in the league choosing them and the rest of the draft picks and hidden gems out of the udfa market.

To an extent I agree with what he said but having said that, I prescribe to the saying never say never.

If we could get a 2nd or 3rd round pick without giving up much....I am all about that

the challenge for the Panthers is those that have the flex to trade up AHEAD of them. So unless the guy they have targeted isn't also targeted by those moving up, we can be ok. Otherwise it may force us to tango as well.

I could see someone like the Rams or Vikings moving up for Austin or another WR. The 49ers will likely move up for a Safety. Miami needs at OT....so who knows.My hopes that someone who we are expecting to be gone may still be there when we pick

Would anyone trade down to Minn, if we were to get their 2nd?

If Star and Austin are gone by 14, then I say absolutely.

Swap places with Minnesota:

Draft Cyprien (Safety-FIU) in the first, Get Justin Hunter (WR-Ten) with our original second, and then hope Kawaan Short (DT-Purdue) or Jesse Williams (DT-Alabama) falls to the Minnesota second round spot. If not, take best available corner.

I would consider that a very succesful two day haul for us.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
