Tim Kawakami, of the San Jose Mercury News, reports San Francisco 49ers (http://www.kffl.com/team/32/nfl) ownership very much wants to select Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen (http://www.kffl.com/player/22244/nfl) in the NFL Draft (http://www.kffl.com/link/159) and will perhaps be willing to offer both of their first-round picks in order to move up in the draft.

We could do alot with 2 x first rounders.

[BillsMan80]

Spiller/Bryant+OT? Not a bad thought.

YES!

[Raptor]

If they were going to try and trade up my bet is we are one of the teams they would be trying to get ahead of because if he gets by us there is a good shot he gets to S.F.

[Nighthawk]

Not true...Jacksonville is a very likely candidate to be interested in Clausen.

[DraftBoy]

The rumor is that they are talking with KC, not Buffalo.

[YardRat]

Pull the trigger

[Dozerdog]

Then flip one of the picks for Big Ben

[Oaf]

The rumor is that they are talking with KC, not Buffalo.
Right. Why would they want to trade to 9?

[Nighthawk]

The rumor is that they are talking with KC, not Buffalo.

That's fine...more talent would fall to Buffalo.

[Billsouth]

you are absolutely correct. the only way we could make it work would be to draft clausen and then trade him

[Mathja]

Right. Why would they want to trade to 9?

if they want clausen, and he's still there at 9, they're still getting the guy they want and in theory shouldn't give up any less. in fact, the 9 pick would be more valuable than the 5 if the player you covet is still there. you pay him less.
Getting the 5 ensures they get clausen. if something doesn't work out with KC, they could sit back and wait to see if he gets past seattle and clevland and make a deal with Buffalo if Jimmy C is still there -- or they could swing a deal with either of the 2 aforementioned teams.

[Mr. Miyagi]

The rumor is that they are talking with KC, not Buffalo.
I hope they get this done so one of the tackles will fall to us.

[don137]

If they will not trade to #9 with Buffalo I hope they trade with KC. I would love KC to not take a LT. That will increase the chances of a top 3 LT falling to us.

[buffalobillsfan95]

what picks do SF have?

[Mr. Miyagi]

If they will not trade to #9 with Buffalo I hope they trade with KC. I would love KC to not take a LT. That will increase the chances of a top 3 LT falling to us.
Echo?

[THRILLHO]

Sounds too good to be true.

[psubills62]

what picks do SF have?

13 and 17

They wouldn't need both 1st rounders to move up to #9. At the most, one of them plus a 2nd rounder.

I wouldn't rule out Jacksonville selecting Clausen.

[Demon]

Sounds too good to be true.

Totally. Not gonna happen. Stuff like this just rarely happens in football, and never to the Buffalo Bills.

[Raptor]

Not true...Jacksonville is a very likely candidate to be interested in Clausen.


Considering that both the GM and coaches Jobs are on thin ice there Im betting there looking for a win now player not a QB for the future they may not be a part of

[Ingtar33]

it won't cost both their 1st rounders to move up to 9, it will cost both of them to move up to 5.

this is about KC not Buffalo.

[Ed]

Damn, KC would be foolish not to take that.

I would love for us to be able to trade down and pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd. That's my biggest hope for tomorrow.

[TigerJ]

If they trade ahead of the draft, they will absolutely try and get ahead of Buffalo. The good news is, if Clausen goes ahead of Buffalo's pick it probably means one of the top 3 OTs drop. That might not be the case if Clausen drops.

[ddaryl]

I would hope we could grab those picks... but if SF moves ahead of us that will help increase the odds of a coveted player falling to us.

[billz83]

i doubt the 49ers give the bills both their 1st rounders for the #9 pick..this is just not going to happen.

[X-Era]

Problem is the value doesn't lineup.

SF's picks are worth more than ours.

[Don't Panic]

Problem is the value doesn't lineup.

SF's picks are worth more than ours.

Yeah... it would take our 1st, 2nd and 3rd to get their two 1sts. We have too many needs to make that deal, even if they were interested.

[Bert102176]

I mentioned a possible trade with the 49ers a few days ago

[psubills62]

If they trade ahead of the draft, they will absolutely try and get ahead of Buffalo. The good news is, if Clausen goes ahead of Buffalo's pick it probably means one of the top 3 OTs drop. That might not be the case if Clausen drops.

Exactly what I was thinking, Tiger. If KC trades back and SF trades up to get Clausen, that increases the chances that one of the top 3 OT's drops to us.
