Strange and weird as it will be, we have an actual sports related event that hasn’t been cancelled. The NFL Draft! As with most drafts, there are a lot of teams that need quarterbacks. And most are near the top of the board. The Bengals, Chargers, Dolphins, Jags, Broncos, and the Brady-less Patriots. The guys likely to go in the 1st round are: Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and Jordan Love.
All but the Broncos and Pats draft in front of us, so that should give us the ability to get a wide out. The good news for us of course is that this is a huge draft for wide receiver. The top 4 there are Jerry Jeudy, Cee Dee Lamb, Henry Ruggs, and Justin Jefferson. All of these guys look like they could step right in and be productive.
At 13 though, JJ, CD, and Ruggs could all be gone. If that is the case, we could very well drop out of the 13th spot, and still get Justin Jefferson. An intriguing idea, but if we do that we very well could pass up Florida corner CJ Henderson. Cornerback of course is our other glaring need.
Still and all, i think we are in a position to fill a spot of need rather that trying to get more picks. As I said, I could see us trade down to get more picks and still get a top-flight WR in Jefferson, but the haul for 13 would be the determining factor.
A risky move, and we can still get a corner with our 31st pick, so it is one that is surely on the table, but we will see. So, the team is in great shape, we look to fill holes with our 2 first round picks, we have a boatload of talent, and with the recent success under our belts the team stands to get better.
Can’t wait.
No surprises yet. Once Detroit picks, we’ll see.
A dark horse pick for us is OT Mekhi Becton.
1st reach goes to the Giants..
Yep. I wonder if we may go O line as well. Staley is good, but he struggled at times. Still and all, the bigger needs are WR/CB.
It’s the middle of the draft and there’s only three comments? And we still have a long way to go before we know which punter the Niners will pick tonight.
Well, skeebs, you have none.
The only surprise is the Giants tackle. So far.
Didn’t see that. Henderson is off the board.
Think we get Ruggs now.
Wirfs was projected at 4 in some mocks. But Lamb or Ruggs is ours.
here we go
wirth or kinlaw
Well not Ruggs Screw you Raiders!
But hell Jeudy are Lamb you can’t go wrong!
I’ll say Juedy now!!
Maybe Wirth too Winder
Ooops. No Ruggs. Jeudy, I hope.
We have our pick of Jeudy or Lamb. Both Blue Chip WRs who should be valid #1s.
Kinlaw is a no. You don’t trade a pro bowl player and get the same spot in the draft.
Well, I wouldn’t.
Trading down one slot?
Wow. TB wants Wirf so we get their 14th and I don’t know what.
they need to protect Brady
No way TB takes a WR. I hope we get something good for nothing, really.
I bet we trade back with denver next
No. Denver wants wideouts. At least I hope not. Didn’t see this shit coming.
OK. That’s cool. But what do we get for the swap? I’d be happy with a 3rd rounder.
me too
even if we trade back again we can still get Kinlaw denver wants a wr.
We got 117 (4th) for moving back one slot. Shades of Trubisky.
Ahh. Cool. Cost us nothing. Are we trading down again?
I think Lynch is open to it, but the price should be set way high. I’d rather take Lamb myself.
Pick is in…
Surprise to me. It’s Kinlaw.
Fuck. Don;t like this. We traded to save money. Oh well.
chuck- he’s a beast.
Kinlaw
At this point we should trade up to get Jefferson.
