Alex Smith Traded To The Chiefs (How This Could Effect The Panthers Draft)

[rscott94]

Alex Smith was traded to the Chiefs for two second round picks. The 49ers now (*possibly) have 15 picks in this years draft... Yes that's right (*possibly) FIFTEEN. Since the 49ers need help in their secondary they could be looking to trade up for someone like Vaccaro or Rhodes. Your thoughts?

They also cut Matt Cassel. Potential backup here in Carolina?

I'd take Cassel as a back up here in a heart beat. Especially if that means good bye Clausen.

My thoughts are they have 15 and we have a fuging handful. Pisses me off. Stockpiling picks and drafting a lot of talent is the way to compete. See Patriots.

He'll probably be relativily cheap.. But I think I'd pass on him

I have never heard of a team EVER having that many picks. I think they will be looking to trade up if they find someone they really like. Otherwise I could actually see them trading back and stockpiling more. That franchise is fuging legit.

I want my franchise to be fugging legit :-(

Our backup needs to be a vertical passer.

Cassel ain't that

Big thread in NFL forum on this one also

I suspect they might trade a few of those picks to the Jets for Revis. It is great they have 15 picks but it isn't how many picks you have but how well you pick the players you draft. The Patriots were mentioned as an example but my overall impression is that they haven't done that great of job in the draft. They seem to do better picking off veterans in free agency than they do drafting. I could be wrong but that is my impression....................

Joeckel is the now the sure no.1 pick.

SF could move their 1st/2nd or both 2nd to move up and grab Vaccaro, DT or a WR.

I'd start talking with SF if I'm Gettleman. I'll gladly take both their 2nd rounders. Stock pile the 2nd round for us. Having 34, 44, and 61 (DT, WR, FS).

Chiefs fans are upset.....

Just goes to show you how quickly things turn around. The 49ers had a decade of futility hovering around 7-9 and now they've go a solid, young team and are a perennial playoff team with draft picks and no cap issues. We could get there one day.
