I'm going to be upset if we stay at 7 and draft Waddle, Smith or Parsons while other teams are picking up extra picks. Me too. If we stay at 7 and this pick does not consist of one of these players: Sewell, Pitts, Chase, Fields, Lance all the positive feelings I've acquired for this front office/coaching staff will disappear and I'll be back to my original feelings...

Louis Friend Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 What did Cleveland get from Atlanta for the Julio Jones pick? Wasn't that a jump similar to the Saints moving up to 7 this year? IIRC it was a 1st + 2 picks that year and 1st + 1 pick following year. If the Lions could get something like that for 7, I'd take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta is wanting a Godfather offer, or they're taking Pitts. Bengals are staying put and likely taking Chase. Think Miami goes WR/TE unless they get a strong offer. I think Detroit and Carolina are looking to move down rather than up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read Chicago, New England and now New Orleans are all reaching out to Atlanta, Detroit and Carolina about moving up. Obviously, any team moving down is going to want to be compensated nicely.

Millenhater Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Lance is now the favorite for the number 3 pick. That's good and bad news for us depending on how you look at it. What's everyone's thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Mac Jones, 2 of the top 4 QBs could be available at 7 and gives us more trade options. 3 of the top 4 QBs going 1/2/3 reduces our trade down options. I really want either Sewell or Chase to fall to 7 or trade down. That is where I am at. I'm prepared for disappointment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC421/ Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Tier 1 Any of these guys at 7 and I’m going to bed happy tonight. All of them are serious value at 7. Price tag to move down is considerably higher if this tier is available. Sewell Pitts Chase Lance Tier 2 I’m confident we’re getting a very good player. Would typically like a little better value at 7 and would feel comfortable with a trade down. As long as tier 1 is gone I’m happy with these guys and a worthy trade is presented. I’m stubbornly high on Smith. I just envision him being dominant in a MThomas/ K.Allen type roll while being able to take the top off in a way those to really can’t, which is pretty scary when you think about it. Slater could give us an elite oline and play wherever is needed. Surtain is just a technician. I love the pairing with Okudah they’re similar in a lot of ways. Coach’s dream of having a pair of outside corners that can come up tackle like those 2. Slater Surtain Smith Tier 3 Underwhelming value at 7. I’d be pretty disappointed with them at 7. Good targets after trade down. JOK I’d probably sneakily be cool with at 7. JOK Waddle Horn Darrisaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are Lance being the favorite has more to do with Vegas and the number of bets than it does with anything happening in SF. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detfan782004 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 My prediction is following order Detroit trades #7 to NE so NE moves up for QB Detroit takes Sewell Detroit takes Waddle That is the 3 scenarios I can see playing out given the rumors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good and bad news for us depending on how you look at it. What's everyone's thoughts? If it goes Lawrence, Wilson, Lance go 1,2,3 then Fields becomes that much more valuable, as word is most teams don't value Jones nearly as high. If teams were ok with two options at QB and now they only have one and there's much more competition teams could get desperate. That could mean our pick is that much more valuable or it could me teams that are willing to pay the price to move up to 4 meaning an elite talent slips to us at 7. It could also mean that free pick no one wants in Jones is still there and one of our options (Lance/Fields) is gone at 7 and i could me less teams are interested in trading up.
