Trading Back?

[OllyDawes]

Our #34 pick is one that is confusing me right now - I have our big needs as CB, NT, WR and TE after taking Luck.

Dre Kirkpatrick, Janoris Jenkins and Stephon Gilmore will probably be gone, not even sure I want Jenkins anyway - too many red flags for my liking.

Dontari Poe will be well gone, the next best if Alameda Ta'amu who will go late 2nd, early 3rd, so we'd be reaching there.

Rueben Randle is pretty good in my opinion and wouldn't mind taking him, but NT and CB ARE bigger needs - just.

Coby Fleener is obviously the one most of us want to play tight end, but what if he's gone? You're then looking at Dwayne Allen and Orson Charles, two players with mid-to-late 2nd round grades on them.

So where do we go with #34? I'd like in some way to be able to trade back and get more picks. If Grigson could get us #46 and #51 from Eagles it'd be good but I can't see it.

What would YOU do with #34?

some players will no doubt go lower then what alot expect it happens every year, Im seeing if by wild chance Poe is still their and if not Im going corner or if all the best are gone, I might wide receiver or Defensive Tackle still, Ill go Corner or Defensive Tackle before wide receiver though

Poe will be gone by #15, either Carolina or Kansas will snap him up.

I heard talk that Carolina might go for Brockers

I like the idea of trading down. Someone may want to move up to get Weeden or a QB there.. trade for two seconds or a second and a third.. This team needs more players. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they traded down and took Ta'amu late in the second and picked up an extra third.

could happen

This is what I'm thinking. Ta'amu, then CB top of third, WR in 3rd, Ladarius Green in 4th?

Draft Stephen Hill to learn from Wayne.

Draft Stephen Hill to learn from Wayne.

Either this, draft fleener or gilmore if they're there. Something about Stephen Hill just has me thinking that if he had coaching + learning from Wayne he could be extremely good.

[OllyDawes]

I have Hill at #26 to the Texans, Fleener at #30 to 49ers...

why would the 49ers draft him when they got Vernon Davis?

Word is that Harbaugh wants to run 2 TE sets, had Fleener at Stanford too.

[Junior]

I'd say trade down for a second and third if Fleener or Hill aren't there and get Ta'amu or Streeter in the second.

[Deano1818]

If you are going to do it...... This is the year.

We have no expectations for a SB

If we could trade our 2nd for a a later 2nd and next years 1st...... You'd have to consider it

Why would the 49ers take Fleener when they have Veron Davis? Walker has shown he's a very good backup behind Davis as well.

A lot of people have been saying Fleener to 49ers is a goer - I agree with you, they don't NEED him but I think Harbaugh WANTS him.

[Moncrief]

49ers have more pressing needs then a replacement for VD

Other than an offensive guard, what? They re-signed all their defensive players, they signed Moss + Manningham, Smith is fine, Gore is fine, Davis fine...there aren't many NEEDS there...

Trust me.... they are going to want an offensive guard lol

I keep thinking they might, MIGHT trade up for DeCastro (Stanford connection again) but I dunno. I've seen Osemele and Zeitler mocked there but would be good for them if Glenn fell to them.

[BProland85]

This is what I'm thinking. Ta'amu, then CB top of third, WR in 3rd, Ladarius Green in 4th?

Sounds good to me....

Ta'amu round 2 after trade down

Jayron Hosley top of 3

AJ Jenkins round 3

Ladarius Green round 4

[coltsfanej]

I like these guys if there... Randle, Kirkpatrick, Wright, Gilmore, Jenkins, Hill, Fleener,

[coltnorth]

I'm not too sure about Gilmour as a fit for the new defense. I understand that he is first round talent but most scouts and even his former coaches say that he is excellent in zone but not great at man coverage. Almost everything I have read indicates our new defense needs corners who can play man. I'm also not sold on Ta'amu. Just too inconsistent. If Hill, Jenkins, Kirkpatrick, or Fleener aren't there, I like trading back and picking NT Brandon Thompson and CB Robinson or Boykin. Tommy Streeter or Chris Givens in the 4th.

[GrizzColt]

If we grab an NT in the 2nd, he needs to be really talented because it's a tough position to learn and there seems to be a lot of misses on that position. It just seems to me that they would grab that position through FA. I would grab a WR or CB, whichever ones are at the top of Grigson's board. Trading down is fine also. We need quantity as well as quality.

[Kyle]

What if we traded up instead of down?

[gacker65]

Let us wait to see what projected 1st rounder drops down due to all the rising of other players.

I agree. If it turns out someone falls that isn't a need for us, trading back with a team who does have the need makes sense.

[BOTT]

i would take the best player to fall out of the first. the colts roster is like swiss cheese so whoever falls is bound to fill a need. not that trading down would be a bad option.
