Nice. It's much much easier to find a coverage LB in today's game. Far far harder to find an ER or stellar interior OL players.
The college game is loaded with these hybrid LB/SS's used to defending spread offenses. That's great for us in a deep draft.
Plus this potentially pushes QB down to us which also gives us trade-back options.
Losing out on Roquan Smith would not be the end of the world.
Trade Bait IMO.
IMO they have been all in on Edmunds for awhile. They want the 49ers to come up to 6. and then still have a shot at Edmunds at #9 IMO.
Hope the 49ers dont bite.

What if they have Roquan graded as high as all of those guys? NDT has him ranked as the #3 prospect in the draft. Gabriel has him as a top 5 prospect. I don't expect them to draft him but would not be shocked if they did.
Originally posted by LVJay:Everything at Colts sucks. Fixing their lines are (Nelson or Chubb) more important. Unless they want Luck to be unlucky again, they would be wise to go Nelson and focus more on the protection...fixing the Dline should be their 2nd priority or are they gonna try to find the next RJF

Which is why BPA makes the most sense for them. Along with trading down again if they can entice someone into it.
If Rosen or Mayfield are sitting there at #6, its going down.

Man I hope that happens...I just want to hear the media / fan talk afterwards LOL...Luck might not be so lucky after all
Fmr LB D'Qwell Jackson (@DQ52) tells us which #2018NFLDraft prospect stands out to him: I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little biased (being a fellow LB) but I love @RoquanSmith1. I really do. He reminds me a lot of @PatrickWillis52. He's just relentless, strong, & fast. pic.twitter.com/XdOtneO3gu

9. SAN FRANCISCO—ROQUAN SMITH, LB, GEORGIA
As a sideline-to-sideline playmaker in this draft, he has no peer. I gave McGlinchey and cornerback Denzel Ward serious consideration here too—as are the Niners. But I passed on McGlinchey because of the Niners' belief that Joe Staley, who will be 34 in August, can play two more seasons at a good level. And the need for Smith, particularly with the uncertain future of linebacker Reuben Foster, could be great in defensive coordinator Robert Saleh's scheme, where athletic playmakers are a must at linebacker.
"This year it seems like there's no normal," San Francisco GM John Lynch said Saturday. The Niners pick ninth in the first round. "I'm having our analytics guys go over every scenario we could face at nine, and there could be 50 of 'em."

He also had a quote from John Lynch:
