I mean if he's their guy and they don't have a trade they feel is worth dropping down for, I'm sure they just draft him #2 overall. But I think they would much rather trade down to like 5 or 6 and draft him. I'm just spit-balling here but Allen truly is the best fit in terms of team need and how he would be used in this scheme. Even over Bosa. I just don't think he's the talent that Bosa is. Definitely not as a pass-rusher. But it's not about what I think tho. I just think us not sending anyone to his Pro Day was bad tell that they probably like him more than they're letting on. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when comes in for his pre-draft workout... Maybe. Guess we'll see. Just feels off that Lynch talks about wanting "power" https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/nick-bosas-power-bend-fit-what-49ers-want-edge-rushers when discussing the edge... yet agrees to pay Ford that much and drafts... Allen? Talk about a rope-a-dope response from him, dunno. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48 1/2ers Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Would anyone be unhappy with selecting Dexter Lawrence at #36? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Kind of yeah, because I would like to draft a WR or FS or interior OL with the 36th pick. This is assuming we go Bosa #2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justone2 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think at 36 Lawrence is great value for some teams. For us though i think he isn't because of what we already have at that spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Interesting question with regards to Lawrence. Would I be unhappy? I kind of think so. I just feel it's a little unnecessary. He already has a college PED suspension, which is concerning, and I just don't know what value there is for us. He's definitely a one tech in our scheme, so he's not going to be on the field a whole ton, and honestly, I'd rather just re-sign Armstead and keep him in the fold moving forward, and continuing to give DJ a chance, as he did play pretty well last year. Plus, we have so many other needs. Our receiving corps is pretty barren right now, and can go south in a massive hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my thinking as well. Lets make it clear though, Allen didn't work out at his pro-day. There was no reason to show up if he wasn't working out, especially because he is supposed to come to Santa Clara in the next week or so. I do think/hope that they are targeting him as a guy to take if we move down a few spots, and that they don't want everyone to know that hes someone they are targeting. It would be amazing to flip with the raiders and get allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they all went out had dinner with him that night. Same with Bosa. And both of those guys are scheduled for private workouts with us as well. Someone is trying to make it look like Allen isn't as much of a priority as the other two...ijs Edited March 25, 2019 by 757-NINER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be more raw than the rest in the 1st round, but there may be more to work with than what Allen/Ferrell/Burns bring, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also 5+ draftable prospects at Ohio St & Bama. While Kentucky has a couple corners and a RB. I think if SF wants Allen they need to take him at 2. The Jets and Oakland could be equally interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the value of him in pure relation to others in this draft.. but yeah.. I wouldn't initially like the decision. To me, and like Forge suggests, it would indicate that they don't think much or see much future for DJ Jones at the 1t. Also, Forge and J hit on the other points well. It's just a rich pick for selecting a 1t that won't be on the field much.. and there just has to be excellent value at WR, DB, or OL there as well.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 No surprise but Verrett vs Witherspoon vs Moore for the LCB spot according to Shanahan. Should be some nice competition in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4L Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 @49erurtaza I love that. Thank you for posting Good way to get around some of the offseason rules, rather than pulling a Gruden and completely disregarding/breaking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
