Rumor: 49ers looking to trade up to 13 or 14...

Point blank, if Star or Lane falls to 14th, the last team I want to get stronger is the defending NFC champ. Why don't we do follow what the 49ers have done for years and stay put and draft on a BPA philosophy?

If Star fell I wouldn't want to trade even if they were offering their first four picks in this draft and next year's second. Assuming that doesn't happen, I don't give a poo if the reigning NFC champ gets better or not as long as we're getting better. And I think we'd progress more with the 31 and 34 picks than we would with the 14.

Do the trade. Draft BPA this year and save the fireworks for next year. Trade up in the 1st (to top 5?) and get Marqise Lee from USC. If we want a WR, let's do it right and not rush to get one where any of the top 3 this year are interchangeable.

Point blank, neither of those players are falling to 14....

Que Promethean Forerunner to tell you why Marqise Lee isn't worth a 1st round pick let alone a top five pick....

Yes, because Ngata and Revis didn't. Oh wait...

Save it for draft night, Nostradamus.

Yes because the Draft those two guys were in only had five prospects that Scouts are calling exceptional.... This draft sucks at the top, but the depth of it is insane....

It doesn't matter. Time and time again, an organization in the top ten makes an unexpected move or pick and as a result a prospect predicted to go 6th or 9th overall falls to the mid-round and whole dynamic shifts. The Chiefs traded for Alex Smith... anything goes.

How does it not matter that you have about half the number of "can't miss prospects" that you do most years? That's absolutely ridiculous to say. Of course it matters when you have a lower number of desirable prospects. That is unless you think five or more teams are going to make questionable moves. Also how does trading a second round pick for Alex Smith when they weren't going to take a QB #1 overall shift the dynamic? The worst kept secret of the whole draft was that the Chiefs were taking an OT number one overall whether it was Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher. Sorry you can keep living in fantasy land but Star and Lane Johnson aren't falling.....

I have a feeling that if Jarvis Jones is still on the board at 14, we'll be getting lots of calls.

It's almost like people forgot about him after the combine/medical issues. Lots of teams in the 20-30 range would love to have him, and he's probably not getting past Pittsburgh at 17.

I think the Saints would take a long look at him too. They will need an edge rusher for their 3-4....

Disagree. At that endeavor we'd marching into second round territory. I rather take the 14th pick and see which top prospect falls (Eric Fisher, Star Lotulelei, Lane Johnson, Dee Millner, etc) out of the top ten.

If any of those players falls to our pick, I'd be happy for Gettleman to just make the pick instead of trading back. If none of those players fall to our pick (which is the most likely scenario) I think having #31 and #34 will benefit us more than taking Richardson, Austin, Vaccaro, or any of the usual suspects at #14. By a lot.

      We had Sam Darnold

      And timing is everything.  You don't build the roof of a house before you build the foundation.  Teams that draft #1 overall tend to go for QBs and put them in impossible situations.  Our coach sucked.  Our OL sucked (even when Cam was here, but he could overshadow that deficiency), etc.  They seem to have the idea down (Morgan?) but when Bryce gets paid, you can't have $100m going to the OL and $50m to the QB and still have WRs and a Defense.   We have to develop our talent and be prepared to let them walk and retool.  I am still a bit upset by the Horn CB deal.  Look at the salary we have locked up at OG and CB....Yikes. If it were not for MJackson and Coker, we would have been in deep poopie.   I am still fairly optimistic, and I have accepted the fact that Bryce will be our CB for at least another season.  He is improving, but I do not like the fact that he needs so much investment in the OL and WRs to be average--before his mega deal.  I am hoping we draft an QB with potential to develop on day 3 and see what we can do with him.  Long shot, but some of the top names in 2024 are going to be taken late this draft.  Like Purdy (I wanted him around round 5 or 6), or Ewers from last season.  I like several QBs who may not even be drafted, like the kid from Vanderbilt.  I also like Mateer from Oklahoma.  Raw, but a year on the bench could help.

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.

      We had two shots at #1. Hell, we had them on the roster at the same time. Darnold and Mayfield both.
