Trade down?

If they draft another WR in the 1st round I'm going to become a DrEll level Kyle hater. 😤😤

+2 sign me up too

I will accept the drafting of a WR with whatever pick we can obtain in the trade of Deebo. If we can't trade him or the pick is late, so be it.

After we all watched the SB it's clear as day it's all about the trenches. They NEED to load up on DL. They gotta get some guys in at OL via the draft or FA.

build that s**t up instead of putting band-aids on it.

Look how the Eagles flipped their defense from worst to first in one year...it can be done! All trenches, all the time this off-season.

It wont do any good if they draft more Solomons, Kinlaws and Jacksons. So they have used premium picks on the DL. it just hasn't worked out. Hopefully this year it will work out.

Agreed.

Trenches only in first 2-3 rounds.

Bleacher Report's latest Mock Draft has the 49ers selecting Ole Miss DL Walter Nolan:

I'd take Nolan in a trade down to the high teens early twenties.

If Mason or Johnson do not fall to #11, I think we MUST trade down once to the late teens or even twice to the mid-twenties to accumulate picks in the #40-100 region. Nolan could easily fall to the late teens and if he doesn't Mike Green or Pearce Jr. are likely there. And we go down to early 20s one of those guys could be there still and if not Derrick Harmon should be who may be better than Nolan anyways and at worst comparable. Harmon DL + Darius Alexander DL + David Walker EDGE at picks #23, #54, and #85 >>>>>> Nolan at #11. And we'd still have #43 to go Donovan Jackson/Wyatt Millum G and #75 for Mukuba/Jaylon Reed S or Jayden Higgens/Royals WR or Arroyo TE. Then draft the C from Georgia at #99 and Belton T at #112 and Ty Robinson DL at #138 and Demetrius Knight LB at #139 and that's a nice trenches draft imo with 3 new stud DL, a promising EDGE, plus one of the top G and C in the draft.

We need more picks to load up the DL and EDGE while still addressing two of G/C/T.

This can be done with a trade down if the opportunity presents itself..

Hell with a trade down there is a world where you can land

#23-27. Harmon/Nolan/Grant DL
#43. Deone Walker DL
#52-55 Darius Alexander DL
#138 Ty Robinson DL

FOUR new beasts at DT. Sprinkle in David Walker at EDGE with that group at #83-88 from the trade down and Antwan Powell-Ryland/Savion Jones EDGE at #139 and that is a revamped tranches on the defensive side.

Yup. f**k trading for Myles Garrett-Niners need bodies with emphasis on plurality. The entire Eagles DL was drafted, and they came at Mahomes with like 8 different bodies. Given how much everyone raves about the DL talent and depth of this draft, I want to see the 49ers load up and draft at least 4 DL(2 edge, 2 IDL). Trade back if they must at 11(I'd take that IDL from Michigan if he slides, tho ). IDC. I just want them shooting as many shots as possible and acquiring as much talent as possible because they're bound to hit if this draft is as talented as everyone says it is.

If the trade is the 11th and 2nd next yr (and some change) I'm totally down for it though. it does massively upgrade the DL and there's still a f**k ton of great IDL to be had on day 2/3.

That's a pipe dream imo. Graham would be the dream pick at 11 if we keep the pick.

I'm warming up to moving down a little and going for Walter Nolan.
