***The Official 2014 NFL Draft Thread***


Quote:With a draft this deep, why in the world should they?!?!

 

They should be able to bring home FIVE starting caliber players, even if they end up being backups due to their roster.

 

That's fantastic.  That kind of depth keeps teams competitive for years, year in and out.


But can they fit them all on the roster? They will have Lattimore and Carradine coming off IR, too. Before the Stevie trade they were near the cap as it was with still having to give Kap a contract soon.


All the experts thought they were a lock to make a move for this very reason. Now adding Stevie to the roster, don't see how they don't.


They'll still have Ward, a two seconds, and two thirds.

I just can't wrap my head around who would be worth trading picks for.

 

Right now, there's first round talent available in the second.

 

There's going to be second round talent well into the third round.  The talent in this draft is so stacked the numbers will push talent down.  All five of their picks tonight could be all first and second round caliber without having to move an inch.

 

You only move up, if the opposite is true (talent is drying up.)

 

That's not the case.

 

The benefit of adding young talent, is that yes unfortunately you have to let go veterans for cap reasons.  When you do, you want the best talent behind them ready to step into that starting role.

Quote:Niners just traded for Stevie Johnson for a pick in next years draft.


No doubt now they trade some of their picks today (5) to move up.


Depending how the the picks ahead of us go, I would hope Dave would entertain moving 39 to SF for their first second and one of their 3rds. You know they would love to move right ahead of SEA


17 spots worth a 3rd?
 

It's possible, but I doubt they will target the same player(s) as we are. They already did that last year, when they traded up one pick before us and selected TE Vance McDonald in the 2nd round, because they know our GM was on couple of Rice games and they probably thought, McDonald was our target. Then we selected his Rice team mate Luke Willson in the 5th round instead.

I fully understand that. But SF has the luxury to being able to move up to get somebody they really want and still have more picks today than anybody else. Without looking at their roster too in depth, they have a need for a CB, but there isn't anybody worthy of that with our pick. They maybe could use somebody on the front seven with their linebackers making a crap load of money and may have to cut one of them in the coming years, Smith being 34 and the other Smith being a looney. One of the ND lineman make sense and may not make it to 24 this round. Who knows what's on their board, but Im betting they make a move today.


I was just trying to see from a Jags perspective if people would be willing to move down 17 spots in the second to add an extra late round 3rd. Doubt it happens, but it's fun to speculate.


I don't want to stereotype the kind of audience they have at the Draft but every time they show a shot of the crowd there are at least two pudgy white men in frame who look like they take this entire thing way too seriously.

Here we go




Talking about Houston trade down. Still no news on that one but I don't think anyone will want to trade up.

Well that was a surprise.

 

Also, why is Katy Perry being blasted over the speakers at the draft?
