Everybody is so Luck hyped on this WZ. It's funny. You do realize we have 3 wins already right? The team picking him will have less than that. If we tanked every game left we are not getting him.
And Harbaugh will cost $7 Million a year to convince him to come to the NFL. Plus he will want total and absolute control. YORKIES aint paying $7 Million a year for a coach and they don't like all the power in one person after NoWin. They like it broken up for better or worse.
So it's no on both. We aren't getting either.
Actually, as it stands right now, the 49ers, drafting 6th, would have an excellent chance at Luck, barring someone trading ahead of them.
1. Carolina just drafted Jimmy Claussen.
2. Detroit has Matthew Stafford. Though he has had injury trouble, they need OL help, not another QB
3. Cincy has Palmer and other needs bigger than replacing Palmer although he seems to have hit a mediocre plateau.
4. The Bills have an emerging star in Ryan Fitzpatrick.
5. Denver has Orton and Tebow.
6. The Cowboys have Romo.
Chances are the 49ers will almost certainly drop below the Cowboys, and possibly Denver and even the Bills.

The questions mark is AZ. If they drop below the 49ers in the standings, then we can forget about Andrew Luck.
The Vikings also need a QB unless they think Tarvaris Jackson will develop. They are an old team with a lot of needs. Hard to see them trading up for Luck.
The Browns have McCoy.
I cannot see any other teams picking before the 49ers, so, yes, there is a good chance that if they stay at the same level of play, they could draft Luck barring a big trade-up by Seattle or Tennessee.
