Presumably they were afraid the Bills would take their guy Legette. Or someone else could have traded with the Bills and took Legette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverOutNick Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 AD Mitchell all day unless they don’t trust his work ethic. His film when playing hard is top 10 WR. If he’s off their board then Franklin 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 #33 is valuable wonder if there is a Veteran receiver they have in mind. If they can’t make deal maybe drop back again at this point unless you think a run at WR is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimer1960 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I don’t really have a guess other than that they didn’t really like the WRs as much as the general consensus does. I think if they liked Mitchell they would have picked him already. I would take McConkey here, but I have a sinking feeling that they are going to take Franklin.

boyst Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I'll take ad and Franklin But in round 3 I'm disgusted... We don't pan out well If we draft cooper dejean then it's stupid because it's just to make up to cover all of the new receivers. Luckily, most went to the NFC. I'm not a dejean fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 They won't move again from #33 and the pick is going to be Troy Franklin. Write it down. Pretty sure he has been "their guy" throughout this entire process.

Turbo44 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 They do like Franklin - met with him more than anyone and he has the fewest q’s of any of the remaining wr’s. Walker is an analytics disaster - know way in the world they draft him. I see another small trade then Buffalo taking Mitchell, Ladd or Franklin. Coleman is the “Benjamin” type of wr they have been avoiding. No separation guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s true I’ll be happy but knowing Beane there’s going to be another trade he loves and he’ll take the chance to move back one last time and then hopefully still get Franklin or even better AD.

If he was truly "their guy" - they wouldn't have risked someone else taking him by trading out of 28 and 32. The fact that they moved down twice and allowed teams that needed WR's to come up and get their guys said to me that they viewed a lot of different WR's after the first 4 fairly evenly and didn't have a "guy".

LabattBlue Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I would take McConkey at 33, and then move up from 60 to try and get Mitchell, Polk, Franklin or Coleman. What do I expect will happen…DeJean. 😞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 7 hours ago, HappyDays said: The dream is still very much alive. Draft two of these WRs in R2, likely with a medium trade up from #60: Coleman Franklin Mitchell McConkey Polk BPA at #95, perhaps with a small trade up to get a true 3rd round graded player. I think it’s Franklin…no idea after that. With the Niners drafting a WR at 31, does that put Aiyuk in play now, probably in exchange for 33?

The problem we have is the cap, but maybe a June 1 designation in any such transaction makes that piece a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
