I can only hope that BOTH Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert go above and beyond expectations so that we have some flexibility in the draft next year. I don't think we will be picking top 5. As bad as we were last year, we still didn't have a top 5 pick. I think we'll likely be in the 9-13 range.
The 6 teams in front of us...how many will be better?
Dallas-yes
Balt-yes
Titans-maybe
Cle- no
Jax-maybe
Although watching Cle draft this year I don't think they will do much with those 2 first rounders. They could end up burning at lest one on the OL.
Why is Jax a maybe? Jacksonville could win 10 games this year. They are far ahead of us in terms of talent now. They had a good offense last year and added Malik Jackson, Dante Fowler (injured last year), Myles Jack, Jalen Ramsey, and Tashaun Gibson on defense. They could win their division while the 49ers will likely finish 4th in the NFC West.
Cleveland is worse than us. Titans are interesting - I think their offense will be pretty good as long as Mariota stays healthy.
I know I'll be rooting for the Titans, Chargers, and Saints this year. The Browns are probably a lost cause - it will be hard to pick ahead of them.
