Draft Day!

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.

  2. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    A dark horse pick for us is OT Mekhi Becton.

  3. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    1st reach goes to the Giants..

  4. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    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.

  5. Oonca_chuck's avatar Oonca_chuck says:

    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.

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Well, skeebs, you have none.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    The only surprise is the Giants tackle. So far.

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Didn’t see that. Henderson is off the board.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Think we get Ruggs now.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wirfs was projected at 4 in some mocks. But Lamb or Ruggs is ours.

  11. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    here we go

  12. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    wirth or kinlaw

  13. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Well not Ruggs Screw you Raiders!
    But hell Jeudy are Lamb you can’t go wrong!
    I’ll say Juedy now!!

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Ooops. No Ruggs. Jeudy, I hope.

  15. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    We have our pick of Jeudy or Lamb. Both Blue Chip WRs who should be valid #1s.

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Kinlaw is a no. You don’t trade a pro bowl player and get the same spot in the draft.

    Well, I wouldn’t.

  17. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Trading down one slot?

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Wow. TB wants Wirf so we get their 14th and I don’t know what.

  19. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    No way TB takes a WR. I hope we get something good for nothing, really.

  20. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    I bet we trade back with denver next

  21. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    OK. That’s cool. But what do we get for the swap? I’d be happy with a 3rd rounder.

  22. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    even if we trade back again we can still get Kinlaw denver wants a wr.

  23. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    We got 117 (4th) for moving back one slot. Shades of Trubisky.

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Ahh. Cool. Cost us nothing. Are we trading down again?

  25. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    I think Lynch is open to it, but the price should be set way high. I’d rather take Lamb myself.

  26. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Pick is in…

  27. Grumpy Guy's avatar Grumpy Guy says:

    Surprise to me. It’s Kinlaw.

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Fuck. Don;t like this. We traded to save money. Oh well.

  29. Winder's avatar Winder says:

    Kinlaw

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    At this point we should trade up to get Jefferson.
