Wouldn't mind Devontez Walker. Good to see the team eyeing him. Would hope like hell he's there at 96 but the odds he makes it from 48 to 96 are slim to none.

I am convinced we're going to have to trade up for a WR, just not up from 17. In my opinion, the goal is to nab a guy in RD2.

If a guy doesn't fall to 48? They'll look to package those picks at 96, 114 and 116 to get back into the bottom half of RD2 or early RD3.

This is where I think guys like Pearsall, Baker, Leggett and Walker get interest from teams.

I don't think they're taking one the first two days. It's not like Baalke and Pederson's offense doesn't need a superstar. They like Kirk, Davis, Jones, Washington, Duvernay...so maybe a 3rd day guy to fill it out. maybe an UDFA takes the spot.

I don't know. I think at the minimum they're considering a guy as early as RD2 or even moving back up into RD2 or potentially late on draft night in RD1 to get someone they like. 

I cannot recall the last time in an off season when Baalke and his scouting team were linked to this many receivers. They're looking at good receivers at that. Between Odunze, Nabers & Thomas Jr. and now with Pearsall, Walker and Cephus, they're clearly in the market for a WR early or at least a WR with height, range and deep ball ability. 

Don't be shocked when you see a trade involving pick's 48 & 96 moving this team up into the early 30's to land a receiver. Hear me now, believe me later. Baalke primarily drafts with his eye on the future. He's looking to get his immediate needs filled via free agency while backfilling their replacements earlier on with the draft. 

It makes sense. He can always package up 114 & 116 to get back inside the top 100 again as well. After all of the draft picks he had last year? He probably doesn't want to use all eight selections this year. If he was willing to trade a 6th RD pick for Mac Jones this off season and he was interested in trading last year around the deadline for Danielle Hunter? 

He's already factored in this year's draft class and scouting notes. I think he's looking to land a WR to eventually move on from Christian Kirk in the near future, or, at the minimum, push Zay Jones off the roster. That can be any receiver type in this draft. 

I think he's looking to land a CB to compliment Campbell or outright bump Campbell down to CB2 for contract reasons. I think he's looking at OT with some OG ability to be prepared to move on from Cam Robinson and Walker Little potentially if things don't fall his way by his standards for 2025's off season. 

WR
CB
OG/OT

That's on their priority list. And it wouldn't shock me if that's all he cares about getting in this class, regardless of what he has to trade up to make it happen early. Get in early. Get out early. Focus towards training camp and just wait until a late day three after an early day two to fill in some holes or compete for the Practice Squad.
