Well, unless they genuinely believed (as everyone did) that the Bears were going to take Thomas and we're gambling that Trubisky would still be there.
I think the 49ers did well there, but I think one of three things happened here: (1) the 49ers wanted Trubisky and gambled and lost, (2) the Bears thought the 49ers were going to take Trubisky and made sure they got their guy, or (3) the Bears thought the 49ers were going to trade the pick to someone who would take Trubisky. I think we're all thinking that the 49ers must have played better poker and the Bears didn't, because we all think Trubisky went too high. But, we really don't know.
Cleveland has a ton of draft capital---isn't them moving up to 2 the likely alternative that forced Chi to offer up that much?
That's interesting. I guess it's possible the Bears picked Trubisky for Cleveland and we'll hear about it before pick 12.
Most likely they were outbidding someone and not moving to get a guy they thought SF would get. Makes more sense.
Definitely.
The Bears may have just helped us land the #12 pick and more. Doubt it, but maybe.
Is there really any chance that the 49ers didn't ask the Bears what they were going to do with the pick?
I don't know that has ever happened. I think Cleveland trades down now and gets Mahomes late 1st.
My info was that the Browns told DeShaun 2 weeks ago they would take Garrett and trade up to 5 to get him, thinking that Mitch would be gone. So we'll see. 2 out of 3 on that info so far.
I'm basing this on the lack of a phone call, the signing of Glennon, and the obvious multiple needs of the Bears.
Plus, it's the type of out of the box move the Browns might do
Is that really how it works? I was assuming that the answer to that question would always be "we're not saying." Would they really say?
I mean, if you're the 49ers, for all you know, the Bears could turn around and trade the pick to someone else if they wanted. I would think it goes the other way -- that the Bears ask who are you going to pick with 2 before we give you a bunch of other picks?
Why wouldn't Cleveland just trade for the pick directly, though. I was speculating Cleveland was the other bidder and beating them is what required such a high price here.
How to fix a running game by the Jags 101:
Ignore O-Line
use pick 36 on a RB
sign FA to stupid contract
use pick 4 on a RB
Ignore O-Line
use pick 36 on a RB
sign FA to stupid contract
use pick 4 on a RB
I'd take Howard here, unless they can trade down and take him or Mike Williams at the 8-12 range
If you saw the live look-up of the 9ers war room, you'd realize the answer is 3) =D
I disagree. I think he's going to be really good, slightly worse than Peterson, but similar. I didn't like Richardson much coming out of the draft.
Jets have to be running their pick in and consider themselves lucky to get the 2nd best player in Adams.
Kind of weird. Lynch out saying we had Trubisky as highest quarterback and you need a franchise QB to compete. So it seems like 49ers not doing QB for awhile.
Sounds to me like he thinks there's no franchise QB in this draft and I'd tend to agree with him. I think the best in this draft is Watson, but there's Vince Young bust potential too.
