OFF SEASON PREDICTION

With all the extra picks, I'd use some of them to lure MEGATRON back!!

I keep hearing the Niners "have to" draft OL as early as possible by a growing number of fans & analysts. Hogwash...there's this thing called the FA period. In the pool are a number of good interior OL...my two favorites are C Brian Schwenke and OG Trai Turner. If either's franchised, there are others worthy of signing. Getting two good interior OL in FA means Lynch won't have to draft any in the 1st or maybe even 2nd rds. I think he should get an OT and an OG/C to develop, but upgrading the OL in FA opens up the earliest picks for Barkley and arguably a top WR with size. Garnett will be back in 2018, so a month + before the draft Shanahan could have his starting OL. I'm sure Garoppolo would appreciate playing behind a veteran OL in lieu of starting a couple of rookies.

Fire power and o line ...deavante Adams and Allen Robinson as well as a guard and a center Bryce love in the second rd

Way to early to predict what happens. Stocks rise and fall, especially since the college season is way from finished and the college bowl and all star games along with the combines are far away. I wouldn't mind Courtland, but that is way to early according to many. He will have to prove himself in the bowl games and combines first.. Minkah Fritzpatrick is going way before that. Plus Barkley ran a 4.33. Hard to pass on that talent. The Giants might be willing to pay more if they really want to get Manning's replacement. How to tell the 49ers are going to draft is to see who they resign and who sign in free agency first.

Cleveland's still trying to play Moneyball so they will more likely trade down, not up. Depodesta wants someone better looking than Jonah Hill to play him in the movie about how he turns the Browns around.

This is how I'd like to do it as well. Sign Atleast 2 top notch interior guys. Then go after 2 WRs early. And an edge rusher or two also earlyish.

You think so? Even after it all blew up in their face? They could've legit had Watson AND Garrett last year and still would've had a bounty of picks.

We need an update moon.. Make it hot.
