San Francisco 49′Ers Reportedly In Trade Talks With Carolina Panthers

[carolina-chuck]

Nothing to report here. I don't see much of a reason for the 49ers to trade up to a mid 1st round pick. Its too early to target a specific player given we are picking at 14. They might be dipping their toes in the water but I dont think there is reason to get excited.

I seriously think SF is targeting Sheldon. He's another MIZZOU guy like Aldon Smith. They have a big need at the Dline with only an aging Justin Smith. Panthers and Saints are two team projected to take Sheldon. We have shown little interest in Sheldon but maybe SF gets the feeling that Saints will take him at 15.

I would be interested in any offer the 49ers brought to the table if I were Gettleman. I do not see a guy available at 14 that would make a dramatic difference in our team. If we could get #31, a second rounder and a late pick or player it might be solid.

I'll take 31, 34 and a Cb like Terrell Brown if they're willing to let him go. Theyre packed at the corner position with Nnamdi, Rogers, Brown and Culliver.

[LinvilleGorge]

Hopkins won't be there at #31. I bet the Rams take him at #16.

[panthers55]

If they want Austin there is no guarantee he will be there at 13 if that is what they want. We won't know until our pick if this comes about. Unless of course they are looking at other folks besides the ones mentioned.

We're rebuilding?

[Doc Holiday]

Can't say I'm in love with not picking until 31. Not in this draft.

yeah this is not a deep draft making the earlier picks more important in some ways, it just depends on the position we want

[carolina-chuck]

-31, I'll take best available Safety: Elam, Cyprien, or Reid

-34, I'll take best available DT: Short, Jenkins, Hankins, B. Williams, J. Williams

-44, I'll take a TE or WR: Escobar, Woods, Patton, Hunter, Rogers

[KendrickPanther]

In Gettleman I trust!

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

So many good players in the secondary in late second and 3rd rounds.

[carolina-chuck]

We're rebuilding?

I guess if you're not a serious contender like the supposedly Seattle Seahawks you're considered a rebuilding team.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I seriously think SF is targeting Sheldon. He's another MIZZOU guy like Aldon Smith. They have a big need at the Dline with only an aging Justin Smith. Panthers and Saints are two team projected to take Sheldon. We have shown little interest in Sheldon but maybe SF gets the feeling that Saints will take him at 15.

This makes sense and is reasonable but I still would not expect things to evolve and be solidified until we are on the clock. If Star begins to fall, especially past 9 or 10 then all bets are off. Too many variables with 3 days til draft.

[carolina-chuck]

If SF is targeting (which makes sense but I don't think so), they'd have to trade up to no.7 infront of Buffalo to gurantee them that they'll get him. Bills could be a serious landing spot for Tavon. SF could trade up to 13 but if Tavon falls the Jets could still take him at 9. SF would still be without him. I think if SF is looking at 13 or 14, it's def Sheldon.

[Kevin Greene]

One general manager told Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports that he believes the 49ers are interested in trading up from No. 31 overall to the 13th or 14th spot.

This might be little more than dot-connecting, as the 49erssimply don't have the roster space for more than a half-dozen rookies. As one of a handful of NFL teams currently enjoying a wide-open Super Bowl window, it makes sense to leverage the extra picks for a difference-maker or two to help put the 49ers over the top.

Around the League's Marc Sessler suggested talented playmaker Tavon Austin could be in the 49ers' sights, as coach Jim Harbaugh has been at a high number of wide receiver workouts.

The talk around the NFL, according to Cole, is that 49ers general manager Trent Baalke would like to get a defensive lineman who can eventually step in for 33-year-old Justin Smith. NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah believes Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei could be a target if he slides out of the top 10 Thursday night.

I'm beginning to like the idea of staying at 14 then hoping for a trade back in the second to acquire a 3rd/4th
