Alphadawg7 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Hopkins going to AZ and them NOT giving up their first to Houston basically takes a WR being taken in that slot completely out of the mix. And they have been pretty consistently mocked to take Lamb. Now, Indy trading their pick to SF also takes Indy out of the running for a WR, which they were also somewhat mocked to maybe take a WR. Its not out the question, SF could take a WR, but they also dont need to given depth at WR this draft and a nice young WR in place to go with an Elite TE. Part of me wonders if this is part of a move to go up and get a QB. So one slot and possibly two draft slots ahead of us are no longer going to be spots for a WR. Odds that at least one of Juedy, Lamb, Ruggs to last to 16 or later has now just gone up IMO and maybe even one will last to us at 22. At the very least, I think it makes that one getting to Atlanta at 16 much more probable now and I think that Beane will be interested in going to get one at that point. EDIT: As some have pointed out, 13 might be an intriguing place for us to move up to with SF as well to get Juedy/Lamb.

DJB Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think the Niners are more desperate for a DB than a WR. They do seem like a good trade partner as they dont have a 2nd or a 3rd I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Den, Philly, Oak, Possibly Jax - bills need to get right above 15. Always thought 13ish is the perfect spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Niners will be looking to trade back, since they have no picks in rounds 2-4. 13 is the perfect spot for someone who wants one of the top 3 receivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The only positive I'm taking away with me so far is we'll still be Top 3 in cap space.....next year. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's trades increase the chances that Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs slip to us or to a spot where we can afford to go up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two bits: 1.Just dont want to trade with 49ers .. they always get a lot out of their trades (which means the counterparty loses) - see Garoppolo, Buckner, swapping #2 and #3 with Chicago etc. 2. Why not trade with TB at #14 instead of Atlanta at #16? - Denver is taking a WR at #15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seoulofstone Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Its NOT been a good day for the Jets and Dolphins though. So many threads on their sites talking about Thuney, Scherff and Conklin. Between them the only OL they have signed is Ereck Flowers ... Go ahead and cross Vaitai off that list too. Despair is creeping into their FA thread. Its well worth a look... Edited March 16, 2020 by Seoulofstone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think Bucs may look to stay pat and force themselves to take one of the left over QB's if they dont get Brady. Now if Brady goes there (again, believe it when I see it), might be intriguing spot for a trade up for sure. Like you, I am skeptical the cost to get to 13 will be something Beane will pay, and agree Lynch is a good GM who has extracted a lot of value in his trades which could make that slot even more expensive. And in a rich WR draft, I have high doubts Beane makes a real expensive trade up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I don’t think one of the big 3 fall to us at 22. I just think it’ll just make it a little cheaper if we’re looking to trade up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it suggests a near certainty the Jets will try to take one of the 4 O-Linemen (likely the last of them will be available at 11). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
