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.
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.
We will still get a top notch WR
So 31 will be either WR, CB, or OL. Or we trade for a 2 and a 3.
How much did Kinlaw wanting to come here and talking up team chemistry matter I wonder?
Yeah I’m bummed 🙁 some.Stop stroking Saleh Shanny! Just stunned with Lamb&Juedy your choice and you pass on a playmaker?
Damn. I’m bummed but there are a lot of WRs out there. But not this one.
So you replace Buckner with a cheaper version in Kinlaw, I get that but normally a team won’t do that.
You still had a pretty solid front,Boss,AA,Ford,Thomas,Blair?
You have to WR are CB next right? Unless they trade out.
Speaking of what was the other pick we got out of Bucs??
a 4th
we just couldn’t afford Buckner so we did the next best thing
I just wish we could have traded back with denver
A possibility the Raiders Fucked the 49ers by taking Ruggs and they just weren’t as high on Lamb& Juedy Judy Judy which was a great clip Chuck! Goober&Gomer lmao 🤣
Yeah, that’s possible. He was the WR I thought would have been the best fit. A pure X guy that we still don’t have.
I’d love to see us trade up for Jefferson. When CD was available, I KNEW he would go to Dallas.
Splashy pick that doesn’t really do a lot of good. They need defense more than offense.
