San Fran Has 11 Draft Picks - Whaley Should Be Calling Them To Trade Down

[Night Train]

San Fran is looking for a WR and needs a CB or 2.

11 guys are NOT going to make their final roster, the result of being a top team.

San Fran Picks

1. First round – No. 30 overall
2. Second round – No. 56 overall (from the Kansas City Chiefs)
3. Second round – No. 61 overall
4. Third round – No. 77 overall (from the Tennessee Titans)
5. Third round – No. 94 overall
6. Third round – No. 100 overall (compensatory)
7. Fourth round – No. 129 overall
8. Fifth round - No. 170 overall
9. Seventh round – No. 242 overall (from the New Orleans Saints)
10. Seventh round – No. 243 overall (from the Carolina Panthers)
11. Seventh round – No. 245 overall


I realize many become polarized by the Round 1 pick, as if the draft begins and ends there. Yet this is the deepest draft in 15-20 years, which means a golden opportunity to replenish needed holes and depth for the forward thinking GM's. Whaley and Marrone have been a team for a year now and have made many moves to revamp the roster. Opportunity knocks.

I would have no issue with moving back to #30 while picking up additional picks in this draft. I doubt San Fran would mind giving up a few picks to get a specific player or 2, since that's all that will make their team. At #30 you could still get a starting RT, for example.

Our needs are still numerous and long term. 4th rounders this year would be 2nd rounders other years, according to many scouting reports I've read. Deep, deep drafts like this only come up once in a while. Lots of value and extra 2nd, 3rd, 4th round picks etc. would really make sense this year.

Call San Fran and plant the seed.

I would prefer a trade down more than a trade up.

I would be very surprised if it happens though.

I dont have an issue with moving down depending on how the draft falls. I'd like another 2nd rounder. I agree that a RT can be had later in the draft. What I would like to do though is land a G and RT in the first 4 rounds.

Maybe if San Fran kicks in their first next year.

It would take a boatload to move up 21 spots.

Value chart targets the extra picks San Fran has in Rounds 2 & 3 ( maybe more, if the Bills wish ).

Who wound San Fran want to move up for? If Evans is on the board sure, but they are not moving up to draft an OT or TE.

Talk yesterday on NFL Network stated a couple of top CB's (no names) they covet.

[Novacane]

Id do it for 30, 56 and 61 . They'd come out ahead on the points by 98 but 3 players for 1 I wouldn't care.

[SpikedLemonade]

If we could trade our #9 overall draft pick for SF's 1st, two 2nds and two 3rds, I would do it.

That would give us three 2nd round and three 3rd round draft picks plus the 30th overall.

I would also be willing to trade our 4th and 5th to get back up into the end of the 3rd.

If the draft is as deep as they say it is, this is the year you want to stockpile 2nd and 3rd round picks.

It would allow us to fill a lot of holes even if we don't get lucky to draft an elite talent.

That's an enormous draft haul for the #9. I don't see SF going for it unless something absurd happens like Mack or Watkins falling to us.

[TedMock]

Our 9th pick is worth 1350 points on the chart. San Fran's 30th (620), 56th (340), 61st (292) and 100th (100) are worth 1352. That would be the most equal we could get and I would take it in two seconds. Having said that, I would be willing to sacrifice the 3rd (100th) at the last second if we had to. 3 second rounders in this draft would be awesome. Three 2nds and two thirds would be better.

Perhaps they will deal some away for picks next year, or trade some to pick up a current player to strength their roster. Their #6 is a comp pick, which can't be traded.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

God not the draft chart again.

[stuckincincy]

God not the draft chart again.

I thought that went on the back burner when the rookie cap was implemented...

I'm not opposed to trading down, but all the way to 30? Do you guys really trust this org to draft well enough with extra 2nd and 3rd round picks to make up for missing out on a top 10 guy? I don't.

Last 2 years in Round 2. Glenn, Woods, Alonzo.

They can miss no matter where they pick. They've proven that. 3 players in the top 60 or 1 at #9? I could argue they have a better chance of hitting on 1 player with the three picks than they do with the one.

Before that:
2011- Aaron Williams- sucked at CB but good at S so far
2010- Torrell Troup. Ugh
2009- Byrd and Levitre
2008- James Hardy. Ugh.

Now, Whaley was here with Nix in 2011 so he had no role in anything that happened before that and we don't know how much of a role he had in 11-13. That being said, he did have a role in the two good picks from '09 no longer being here.....

Well there will be less players available with the later picks so that reduces the chance of each individual pick finding a good player, especially since the top talent gets picked off first.

Do the extra picks increase the chances of finding a good player more than the reduced talent pool decreases them? I don't know- that's a question for someone whose math is better than mine.
