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

[Ivan The Awesome]

I hope this happens. We need more draft picks.

[jungleking]

Point blank, if Star or Lane falls to 14th, the last team I want to get stronger is the defending NFC champ. Why don't we do follow what the 49ers have done for years and stay put and draft on a BPA philosophy?

They don't necessarily stay put, though. They were the beneficiaries of the Everette Brown disaster. They got Iupati out of that one.

[Dash Global]

1st Cyprien

2nd Warford

2nd Short

3rd Rodgers

Yes Please

[CatMan72]

I wouldn't want to drop that far down unless it was a ridiculously good offer.

I could see the Jets dropping out of the 13th pick, they already have a top 10 pick.

[Peppers90 NC]

the jets would come out like super stars if they traded down one of their picks and got 2 or 3 more

[Sod]

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.

THIS!!!!

totally agreed.

in fact i just saw a mock from some bills beat reporter in which we made that trade.

we came out with terron armstead (OT), coradelle patterson, and jesse williams with our first three picks....just to give an idea of what kind of thing is possible at that point.

i don't know about you guys, but that ain't exactly three dimes right there.

improve the OL, improve the WR corps, and improve the DL, esp. against the run?....yeah, i'll take that.

oh...link to that mock: http://www.wgr550.com/NFL-Mock-Draft--6/16111938

and why would the 49ers do that? because they don't have the money for 2 first rounders...that's why. they don't have the cap space or really the roster space for all the picks they have coming their way.

Give me a Safety/Corner in the fourth and wake me up from this dream....

Shamarko Thomas/Sean Williams/Josh Evans

Jordan Poyer/Sanders Commings/Brandon McGee

Might even be able to go Safety in fourth and McGee in fifth....

That would be straight up robbery.

and it's entirely feasible.

I said this yesterday. We could fill three big holes rather than two. I know this is a stretch but think about when you come up to a parking meter...what good is a dollar when all you need is three dimes?

The problem with this analogy is unless the unthinkable happens and Star or Lane Johnson fall (it isn't happening) the prospects at 14 aren't dollars....

[rayzor]

i'd consider it a win/win....much in the same way it was for the bucs/jets.

the thing that gets me most giddy about that possible scenario isn't the exact players mentioned...it's gettleman making the call who those players are going to be.

we could come out of this draft with 3 legit starters from the first couple rounds. i'll take 3 legit starters over revis any day. esp. with that cap hit. we'd get all three players for what revis would be getting in one year...and i'm talking about their entire rookie contracts.

Yeah. But they may have someone highly rated on their board that we don't know about. It happens every year, some teams just like certain guys that no one else seems to. I have no clue who we feel that way about. It will be interesting to find out in a few days. My point is that Gettlemen may think they can get a dollar at 14. I'd still rather have three dimes this year.
