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

From the pre-draft presser, I'm convinced that Gettleman wants to stay put at 14. The Jets on the other hand may think differently. Rumors around this time of year tend to be fake, but I believe this one. I mean, why wouldn't the 9ers trade up? Do they even have the money to sign 14 draft picks or whatever? They're gonna grab Richardson or Vaccaro.

edit: Wait a minute, why stop at 13? They could trade WAAAAY up to 6, 7 or 8. Think about it, those teams all need to restock on talent; and they all want a QB of the future, possibly at the bottom of the 1st round. Forget Richardson, the 9ers are wishing on a Star.

The bigger question I saw brought up was if the 49er's even have 14 spots on their roster for rookies? That's basically saying that at least 4-5 rookies will get cut if they keep them all. If not more. Definitely think they're gonna trade a lot of them and if they trade with us they could throw in a late round pick just for kicks.

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.

Yea that's what suck. You're losing out on a Vaccaro, Tavon, etc. Unless we have an Elam or Cyprien high on our board, its worth trading down to 31.

That would be true if there was a top prospect likely to be on the board at 14....

And BTW if you did your homework and know the prospects you grab 3 bucks instead of 1.

This times 1,000. It's really not much to ask for a scouting department to find three players who can help this team inside of the top 50. Teams do it all the time. Especially in a draft that is exceptionally deep but not top heavy, I would much rather have three good quality players than two, and that really shouldn't be expecting the world out of our scouts or Front Office.....

If there isn't any "top" talent players to be had at 14,why would the 9ers want to trade up???

Because they view a Richardson, or Slyvester Williams as a critical piece for their defense. That doesn't mean they see the player as a cant miss prospect, just that they see it as a perfect fit that will make their expected Super Bowl run that much easier....

I would swap 14 for 31 and 34 without thinking twice. This draft isn't top heavy. We get 3 guaranteed starters if we make that trade.

So the 9ers will pass up a chance at 3 starters to get 1 starter, who by everyones thinking will be just as talented as the players we could get at the bottom of the first?

Makes sense.
