Options falling back from #2:
#6 New York - Needs defense and a franchise QB badly. Could move ahead of CHI, who also needs defense, for their choice of the liter.
#8 Carolina - Looking for a big offensive piece to help Cam Newton out. Would wan't to jump ahead of JAC and TEN who both need offense. CAR has 2 2nd Rounders.
#9 Cincinnati - Could use help everywhere on defense. Solomon Thomas would fit nicely right beside Geno. CIN does have a bunch of picks.
#17 Washington - Need an impact player on defense badly. Would allow them to get the pick of the best secondary prospect, in a premier class, in their biggest area of need. Could also use pass rush. Maybe even a QB. WAS does have a bunch of picks.
Options trading into the back end of Round 1:
#27 Kansas City - Needs picks and would only slot back 7 picks.
#31 Atlanta - Needs picks and would only slot back 3 picks.
The only two scenarios that are feasible is the Niners trading up into round 1, no one wants the second pick, no one. trust me.
I would be all for trading up into round 1 IF there is a targeted players, the opportunity to get a 5th year option is worth it to me.
NOW if the Niners are willing to take LESS than chart value I think they could trade down. However I do not believe they are. I personally would take less than chart value to drop to number 6, still could get an impact player and pik up another top 45 pick. But if the niners value picks 2 and 6 equal, why would jets trade up
