Trade Down?

There will be trade options available on draft day. There's always a team that reaches for a QB they developed a crush on during private workouts or the combine.

Browns have the analytic guys who want to follow numbers on how they make picks. Every measure will say take Myles. You can find good QBs other ways like Tyrod maybe and Jimmy G this year . But you can't find a pass rusher like Myles

I completely forgot they have Paul DePodesta as chief strategy officer. I have no Idea what he will do. He is a huge number Guy not a football guy.

Did Shanny just say they'll be patient at QB and lynch would be really hard for a rookie QB to pick up Shanny's offense?
They're trying to lighten the blow/backlash since they'll likely pass on the "top rated QBs" this draft.

Trade down is the most sound approach picking up any impact player at a need while adding additional pick(s).

The Niners trading down is an excellent idea, in my opinion, but, we all know about opinions. Having said that, I shall proceed. Mr. Lynch and the rest of the FO need to be very aggressive in this draft and pick up as many bodies as they can. One or two "can't miss" or "best player available" prospects is not going to propel this team to the Championship let alone the playoffs, in my opinion. The rebuild on this team at the very least is two years. The current roster has no more than 8-10 players who are solid at their positions, in my opinion. Finding a trade partner who is desperate for a player, a la the Rams and Eagles of last year, at the #2 position is paramount in making this move a successful one, in my opinion. If this can be accomplished, then the knowledge of the FO in picking players will be at the forefront of the success and future of the Niners, of course, in my opinion

Disagree. This rebuild will take longer than one draft. And players who are just solid are way easier to find in the draft than real impact players. And easy to find in FA. It is the couple of top players who make the difference. Take them now whilst the opportunity is there.

How about trading down with the Titans for their 5th and 18th picks in the first round. Take a QB and a DL in the first round.

Why the hell would the Titans give up the opportunity of drafting two impact players for one? Does that make sense to you? this isn't madden.

I would trade down if the following happened.

1. 49ers traded or signed either Cousins or Garoppolo.

2. Myles Garrett wasn't there at #2.

I would love to try and see if there was a way to get Corey Davis and Nate Peterman.
