Delpit's stock is definitely been dropping due to injuries and a perception that his game has slipped compare to his junior year. Since I think the Niners will trade down to the mid 40's in the second round with either Tampa or Denver, the chances he drops THAT far are pretty slim. Niners will maybe have to look at a later round replacement or hope that Xavier McKinney from 'Bama is still available.

As of now I think McKinney is rated higher then Delpit but I agree, any of those 2 drop to 32 It would be a very hard pass for me, and like you said a trade back and I highly doubt the last to then..

Delpit would be a good fit, I think he can play both safety spots. Always stood out, his down year from being banged up has brought down the hype but he should go pretty high

I like McKinney more, but I don't think that FS is the way to go w/our 1st PICK..

Like this guy a lot, we need to draft guys that can stay healthy though. Wouldn't be mad at the pick.

I don't think we should go free safety with our first pick, Jimmie Ward is really good when he is healthy and they'll probably bring him back on a cheap deal.

Won't be that cheap unfortunately.

I think Delpit is the most overrated player in the draft.

I mean Delpit kinda had a down year but IMO still really solid. The kid is a hitter and makes plays he's still a 1st round pick IMO.

Injuries kinda impacted his play this year, but yeah still a down year. If he's there when we pick though, It's a no brainer and a steal imo

Agree, absolutely would be a steal, he was considered a top 10 pick last year, I still believe he is that type of player

He had a fantastic year last year looking All World...This year major step backwards looking All Toilet
Which is the Real Grant Delpit????
My understanding is that he was not injured, it appears the problem may well have been a matter of effort
If that was the case I DO NOT WANT HIM

Where are you hearing he wasn't injured ? Bc all I read was lingering injuries all year

DIGGS holds that title on my LIST at the moment... Delpit should not be TOP 10, but will be a solid 15 on down.

Yeah, I think he's a good safety and will be a solid starter in the NFL. I don't see him on the level of an Earl Thomas as a prospect.
