49ers Pull off Offseason for the Ages

What would be your dream draft...within reason? It wasnt as apparent to me before the draft but after seeing the rookie options, I cant help feeling like Kirk Cousins will be a 49er before camp begins. And I dont see the 49ers needing to give up pick #2 to make that happen. Washington gets a 3rd rounder next year if he walks, lets give them that plus to make it to attractive to walk away. If we offer Washington our 3rd rounder next year, plus a 2nd this year and a 5th this year they get what they would net in his loss at FA next year plus a shot at the tier 2 QBs in this years class with our #34. The best part is we can acquire an additonal 2nd round pick by trading down a few spots by a team looking to trade up for Trubisky (Jets, Browns,

Reasonable Dream Draft 2017

TL/DR edition:
Corey Davis
Christian McCaffrey
Derek Barnett
Kevin King
Reuben Foster
Jabrill Peppers
Evan Engram
Caleb Brantley
...and Kirk Cousins

The Cleveland Browns use their first pick to select Mitch Trubisky.

Round 1 Pick #2: The San Francisco 49ers are on the clock:

Pandemonium reigns. Every phone in the war room is ringing and the clock is ticking. Kyle Shanahan punches an intern for wasting his time. Not wanting to be outdone, Lynch throws a chair through the wall. The bidding war has begun. The interested parties are the Bears, Saints, Bengals, Ravens, Jets and Browns. The Jets offer is quite enticing. However, the Browns do the most Browns thing ever and counter with a trade so ridiculous, that it can't be refused. The Colts decide to get in on the fun and make another ridiculous offer for the 12th pick.

Round 1 Pick 2: Traded to Cleveland for picks 12, 33, 52 and 2018 First Round Pick.
Round 1 Pick 12: Traded to Colts for picks 15, 46 and 80.

Even the most faithful niner fans are shaken. They aren't sure if Lynch is a genius or a Russian Spy. John Lynch smiles. Armed with an arsenal of picks, he orchestrates the most beautiful draft the world has ever seen. With the social grace of a saint, he maneuvers to pick whomever he wants.

Round 1 (15): Corey Davis WR Western Michigan
Round 1 (16): Christian McCaffrey RB Stanford
Round 1 (18): Derek Barnett DE Tennessee
Round 2 (33): Kevin King CB Washington
Round 2 (37): Reuben Foster LB Alabama
Round 2 (46): Jabrill Peppers OLB Michigan
Round 3 (66): Evan Engram TE Mississippi
Round 4 (109): Caleb Brantley DT Florida

To finish things off, they trade the last pick to the Redskins for Kirk Cousins.

After the draft they sign a few lineman no one has ever heard of. One of them ends up being All-Pro in 3 years. San Francisco has the most amazing turn around in sports history and wins the Superbowl to kick off the Shanahan Dynasty. Kirk Cousins is named MVP. Derek Barnett ends up being the best edge rusher in the league for years. Myles Garrett is a huge bust and is found working at McDonald's in Cleveland in 4 years. Davis is the second coming of Terrell Owens, without the drama. Kevin King intercepts Russell Wilson every game for the next 5 years. Everyone forgets who Richard Sherman is.

In what way does the word "reasonable" have any connection with this fantasy?
I can't figure out where all the extra picks came from lol, how did we end up with 16 and 18
Neither can I haha but it's an amazing draft regardless
Trading with Cle and getting 2 2's and a 3 this year.

1. Barnett
2. Davis
2. Engram
2. Maye
3. Tomlinson
3. Peterman

I explained that. Lynch maneuvered for those picks. Lol.

It was just a matter of trading Cleveland's 2018 first rounder, and mixing in a couple of extra picks and 16 and 18 were ours.

More realistically though, I would love a trade down to grab Barnett and move back up to get a top receiver. McCaffrey would be out of the cards. They could pick another running back in the 4th or 5th. Seems to be a deep running back class. Would love if Reuben foster and Jabrill Peppers fell to us, as long as they stay out of trouble.
