Well the 49ers could save money by not paying Jimmie Ward and maybe drafting a Safety high if they traded down.

This. They need Ford insurance and better edge depth. We saw how fast the defense fell off without Ford in there. They need to continue to emphasize the pass rush and run game. That is what will get them back to the playoffs.

Who was the TE who got drilled in the face looking the wrong way in the gauntlet drill?

I have to admit that I'm a little more intrigued by the draft this year than last. We pretty much knew who we were taking last year and after about 15 minutes the draft was over for us. Now we'll have all evening to watch, scream, sweat and anticipate a trade back or a player falling to us. Makes it more fun to watch.

From memory this is the first time in a while this team doesn't have a glaring need which stands out from the rest.

lol I may not even watch the first this year. I'd say it's like 90% we trade out of the first.

inb4 we trade up or pick at 31 and I'm wrong again lol.

That's what I am interested in. With so many teams in front of us, it will be interesting to see what moves are made and who slides back. Every year there is at least one good player that falls. As the teams pick and make trades it will be fun to try and figure out if we are trading back and what team might be involved. Like I said there was no drama at all last year. We knew Bosa was going to us so after that the draft was over for me, at least until the next day. If we make some move we could have picks in day 2. Otherwise it will be a long boring draft.

Sure but at least last year we had ammo where there was a chance we could've moved up into the first round. This year we're all expecting us to trade out of the first.

I love the draft but if I know our team isn't going to be picking then who goes where wont' change that. Can basically check the draft tracker and then get ready for day 2 and look ahead to see who is still available that we want to select.

I get what you're saying....when we pick lower things open up and the list of players you want with the first pick gets much wider and the uncertainty of who will be around is much bigger.
