Rumor: 49ers looking to trade up to 13 or 14...

[TruthVsComfort]

Keep in mind, Gettleman did not sound like someone with much desire to trade his picks up or down. Specifically, he said he does not want to talk himself out of taking a great player to get more picks - and that he would rather have one dollar than several dimes.

Around 14 or so all that will be left for thr next say 30 picks will be dimes.

Gettleman only does this if he doesn't think there is a player there worth taking. He stated this a few times in the presser. That being said. If we could trade back and get their first rounder and early second rounder and our draft goes

1-Allen/Hopkins

2-Cyprien

2- Short

I would be ecstatic

I could also see jets jump on such a deal. Use their nine and trade back have four picks in top. Forty big win.

If theory trading down would also give us ammo to trade up, so we could go drop to 31 and then trade back up into the 20's, but I don't know if Gettleman is comfortable with all that wheelin' and dealin'.

Gettleman indicated he would be interested in trading down from 14th in the first round to acquire additional picks. But he said he would do so with caution.

“You’ve got to be careful because you can talk yourself out of a really good player,” he said. “I’ve watched teams drop from the top 10 to (No.) 15 to the bottom of the first (round) to the top of the second. For what? Do you want a dollar or do you want three dimes? I don’t know, I’d take a buck.”

Me too. I love this Safety class. A Vaccaro, Cyprien or Elam would make my draft

Jets have said that they want to trade down

I've always said the exact same thing. But I ask if you'd rather have a Kuechly or 3 Dan Connors.

[Growl]

No way id drop that far. You're dumping a top prospect for some borderline 2nd round guy.

Unless they wanna throw a first in next year. Then, I consider it.

[CollegePanther]

Gettleman won't trade back to 31. Do you want a dollar or 3 dimes?

[Yaboychris28]

Teams know we only have 5 picks in this years draft so we are a huge target for trades. I wouldn't be surprised if something happens Thursday night. I would rather us keep our 14th pick then trade down to 31, especially in this years draft.

I really feel like the Panther's need three dimes to be honest. We are a team with a lot of holes and one great player isnt going to fill multiple holes. Not to mention I don't think we're in love with anyone at 14. Like others have said, if we trade down and somehow grab Cyprien, Allen/Hopkins, and Short/Williams I'd be beside myself with excitement. We just filled three holes with three dimes. All that would be left would be to grab a some offensive linemen, maybe a corner/tight end, and an outside linebacker and we're good to go.
