Trade this year's 1st for a 1st next year???

Future picks only carry half the value of current picks. Cincy, Buf, or whoever would have to throw in some additional picks to make up for that gap.

If the package was right then yeah I'd consider it, but we're way too high in the draft for it to be a reallistic possibility. If we were sitting at 20 then yeah it becomes a reallistic scenario, but I don't think there's ever been an instance of team picking in the top 5 then trading back into the top 10. It just requires too much ammo.
If you're talking about positioning the 49ers to get Luck or Barkley in 2012, you probably need 3 1st-rounders or two first-rounders and two second rounders.

So you'd have to trade down 2x.

You never trade out of the Top 10 for another pick in the 1st next year, especially when there's no CBA to involve players.

Of the teams drafting in the top 6 last year, exactly 0 of them are drafting in the top 6 this year. Losing proposition.

1 Rams 1-15 .520 133-123-0
2 Lions 2-14 .523 134-122-0
3 Bucs 3-13 .555 142-114-0
4 Redskins 4-12 .492 126-130-0
5 Chiefs 4-12 .516 132-124-0
6 Seahawks

That's why you would need to stockpile 3 #1s in 2012 to be on the safe side.

The Skins, Seahawks, Lions, and Rams still suck tho. The Seahawks pulled 3 or 4 wins totally out of their *ss and still only won 7 games.

If you want to look at this year's top 6, Carolina and Denver can easily bounce back to 6-to-8 win teams, Buffalo will still suck, Arizona is garbage, Cincinatti won't win unless palmer comes back
I say if Blaine Gabbert falls to us and Miller and Peterson are gone we trade the pick to Buffalo for their second rounder this year and first and third round picks next year. Would you do that trade?

No. Buffalo might have a good year (stranger things have happened!). Too much of that trade is backloaded and non-specific to me. Ok if we had a lower pick but not #7

There is no need. We will probably have the first pick in the draft next year anyway. (:

Terrible idea. What if Carolina had done that with us last year instead of the year before and Luck had come out? they're already going to force a pick because they have no 2nd to fall back on. The only time I would consider trading a future 1st is with a team that is a contender, and even then only for a proven player that is the missing piece to a championship.

No thanks, I still think we grab a top 3 talent at #7. If Miller, Gabbert, or Peterson aren't available at 7, trade back and grab Prince or Jordan in the 8-14 range. Then hop back into the late first with our second and whatever other pick we got for trading back and go for Reed. Then go BPA at CB/QB in the 2-4 rounds. Then BPA WR/TE/OL/DT for the rest of the draft.
Is this really a serious question?

Trade a sure top 10 pick...for a possible top 10 pick next year?

NO!!!

It will take time, but a good team will be built one draft at a time.

Use pick # 7 to pick up a talented player this year.

Patience, hard work, and smart work is needed.

No way. Especially without a cba, what means, that trading for future picks is at your own risk.
