lol we all thought that last year.
True! But last year was a very deep draft with great value in round 2 to 4! Not as good this year!
This is the one year we shouldn't. Coming off the Super Bowl, with all those picks that we wouldn't have been able to keep would have. This year is the most important under Baalke to get as much talent through the draft, with the losses we have had.
I could see them trading up for Kevin White, Danny Shelton or possibly a pass rusher if the front office and coaching staff really falls in love with a guy. Beyond that I'd just expect them to stand pat or to trade down even.

I'd be ok with Shane Ray!
a trade down from 15 to around 25 to 30 and pick up a lat 2 or early 3 would be a better idea.
If the guy they want is outside the top ten they may move up. I don't think they will surrender picks to move up inside the ten. As we all know it's tough to get a read on Baalke come draft day. I have a guess they go defense, and not the back-end. A D-lineman and outside pass rusher with the top two picks. The only change I could see is if the priority is for the O-Line, but, didn't they do that last year.

Agree

I don't see us moving up or staying pat.

If there's a guy they love, go up and grab him.
If they trade up, it better be for Leonard Williams. Otherwise I say trade down.

Too much talent in the 20 - 45 range.

Eddie Goldman, Marcus Peters, Gurley, DGB, Devin Smith, PJ Williams. Any of these guys would be great picks in that range (some better than others).

Plus, there are a ton of players in the late 2nd to 3rd round who could be key acquisitions like Devin Funchess, Danielle Hunter, Phillip Dorsett, and maybe even Bryce Petty.

Round 1: Tray Waynes
Round 2: DGB
Trade back in to round 2: Denzel Perryman.

That's all I want.
If I was planning on trading up for a WR then I would would rather trade for Cooper if your going to trade up big you want a playmaker on day 1. Other then pash rush guys the 2 safest picks for me is cooper or Williams.
