If you guys click on the link which shows the entire draft, you'll notice that McShay has RB D'Onta Foreman as a first round pick at #25. He calls him one of the most underrated prospects in the draft. I fully expect his stock to go way up and I even see him being taken ahead of Fournette. For that reason, I would either say we trade down in that scenario or we stay at #3 and take Foreman. I believe he is just as good as Ezekiel Elliott is and he went at #4, so why not? I then spend my next few picks on offensive line talent and an edge pass rusher. I find a QB late in the draft, because I don't see any standout players at the position. I believe there won't be much of a difference between the QB's late in the draft and the ones which will likely to be taken in round 2. It'll be a crap shoot at that position.
Quote:Also... who's trading up at that point for a QB?
Chicago gonna trade up one spot with us?
Jets?
Browns from 9?
Nola, Carolina, and tacks don't need QBs, don't need to jump them to trade up to us.
I don't necessarily think they would trade up specifically for a QB. There are several guys like Tim Williams or Rueben Foster who may command a lot of attention as well. There will be teams looking to trade up in the draft, but it doesn't have to be strictly for a QB.

No way in hell should we take a running back #3. Absolutely ridiculous.
Trade down, take Cook and load up on linemen.
Todd Mcshay is a nerd who doesn't even like to get sweaty. His mock is garbage.
I like Foreman as much as anyone, but he's just not even close to Zeke sorry.
I do think Adams is the 3rd best player in this draft, neck and neck with Foster, so I'm fine with this mock if the two stud DL are gone.
We need the 49ers to win some games and we need to lose all of ours.

I like this man's plan.
I'd love a draft that looked like this.....
D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
Pat Elflein, OG/C, Ohio State
Taylor Moton, OT, Western Michigan
Eddie Jackson, S, Alabama
Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU
Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State
Freddie Stevenson, FB, Florida State

Bingo.
This would be the worst case scenerio. Either Allen or Garrett would be great picks. Naturally, there are no great choices worthy of the 3rd pick at q.b. or offensive tackle- both areas of great need. Hopefully someone will fall in love with one of the quarterbacks enabling the Jaguars to trade back and take either Adams or Cam Robinson. Even better, the Browns or 49ers will reach for Trubisky so the Jags get Allen or Garrett.
it all depends on free agency. if we bring in a pass rusher we could go with SS if Cyprien is not resigned.
Quote:We need the 49ers to win some games and we need to lose all of ours.
Agree 100%. I fear we may win 1 or 2 more and that will cost a few spots. If we can secure that #2 pick, we're guaranteed Allen or Garrett. Could also use that as trade bait as well.
It's his first one. His first one's are usually terrible.
Last year, his top 5 were
1. Bosa
2. Lynch
3. Nkemdiche
4. Ramsey
5. Goff

Fair enough... but if the top 2 DL guys are picked. Is the value there to trade up for a guy like Tim Williams? I'm not so sure.

He wasn't way off.
3/5 were top 5 selections.

When was the last time someone traded into the top 3 for anything other than a QB?
People don't trade up that high unless it's a QB.
Clowney was considered a once in a generation talent at DE (2nd most important position in football) and no one traded up for him.

It depends upon the needs of the team and the value they place on the player.

Do we know that Houston wanted to trade out of that pick? For all we know, they got offers and declined them, because they wanted Clowney all along.

I think if someone offered as much as teams offer for QBs, they would have taken it.
We don't know if they got offers but if people trade into the top 3 for something other than QBs, I'd like to see it.
