    I just read a report saying that the plan for the draft was to trade down from #1 and take Mitch Trubisky

    Unless they trade down to #2 with a guarantee that the 49ers will not take him, then fine.

    But without that.....if you trade down any further.....the 49ers or the Bears WILL grab him, almost 100%.

  • No trade down this year.

    But with Goff looking like a bust on the scale of JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf, and Wentz rated as the lowest QB in the league after week 7...

    It's time to re-evaluate the assertion that the brain trust was stupid to trade down in 2016.

    They were RIGHT.

  • just Relaying information Gipper, Personally if they want Trubisky may aswell take him at 1 without risk of losing him rather than gamble and take him at 5 or so

    It is way too early to make those assessments on those players.

  • Please, no more letting other teams have the good players. PICK a couple of good ones at #1 & #12 so that WE can improve instead of letting everyone else improve.

    It's January. They don't have a plan yet.

    Certainly not before the Senior Bowl, the combine, pro days ... and the most important of all ... interviews.

    And if they did have a plan, no one would know it, it wouldn't be shared and it would be 99% likely to change.

    They were RIGHT.

    They also reportedly had targeted Goff, but he was gone... so there's that...

    We can credit our FO for not competing with LA for the #1 overall.

    That said, I haven't completely abandoned all hope for Goff... not yet...

  • The ONLY trade down that I think is acceptable is 1 for 2 & 34

  • If their logic is to trade down and pick Trubisky, who are they going to trade with?

    I think if they trade down they will miss out on Trubisky AND the two top defensive players.

    Stay at #1 and take one of those two defensive players....or gamble on the QB.....but don't trade out and MISS out on all of 'em.

  • Good point, who is going to trade up to #1 overall and then not take the highest rated QB?

    Good question. When is the last time that someone traded up to like #1 or #2 and took something other than a quarterback?

    (I don't know the answer)

    The Browns traded up to #3 to take Richardson. Of course, we now know how stupid that was.

    Orlando Pace ?

  • Yup... Pace in '97.

    The #1 overall has only been traded away 5 times including last year by the Titans. All five times have been in "the modern era".

    Three times the target was a QB (Goff, Vick, George).

    In addition to the Rams tabbing Pace, Cinci traded up to the #1 overall in '95 and took Ki-Jana Carter (RB).

    What were the terms of that trade?

  • Again, this thread is just for spitballing. Lets say hypotheticall that the 49ers, Bears and Jets all lusted over the same player...say the QB. But lets say that the Browns put it out that they too would consider this same player.....but that they would be willing to consider a trade down with each of these teams to move down so that they could take who they want at #1.

    What would it take to make a trade down with:

    A. the 49ers, swapping 1 for 2

    B. the Bears, swapping 1 for 3

    C. the Jets, swapping 1 for 6

    Or lets say that it is not the QB, but the defensive player, which the Browns also express in interest in, but also have an interest in trading down. Could this bring the Jags and the Titans into the game...or some team below them?

  • from St Louis and was wondering any talk in Cleveland about moving down? as good as Garrett is adding more picks sure makes sense. Thanks

  • Not much really, no.

    Yes, some. There was a whole thread on it. Someone had suggested a move down to #5 with the Tits. Can't recall the details, I will have to look it up. But that one sounded feasible to me.
