Who do we take at #13, WR, DL, OL or DB?

Who do we take at #13, WR, DL, OL or DB?

It wouldn't make any sense to go and draft a DL. We literally had a young all pro DL.
Kinlaw probably won't be there and this is a deep Wr class. I would trade down.
I've been thinking a lot about this and I'm still torn so here's another way of putting it.

Let's say Brown or Kinlaw, whomever you like more at DT is there at 13

AND

I know this isn't possible but if you knew you could get Mims or another high quality WR, just not one of the top 3. What would you prefer to do then?
Just listening to KNBR and Papa is in love with Jeudy. He's already doing his TD call. 'Touchdown Jeudy Jeudy Jeudy" He thinks he's the most polished WR he's seen in years as far as his routes, ability to get open and his YAC. I don't know if I agree but he's better than anything we've had since TO. Same probably goes for Ruggs and Lamb. Ruggs is the fastest but Jeudy and Lamb are plenty fast enough and probably a little better route runners.
I can't see DL, although I understand the appeal.

Imo the defense will still be very good. We have DJ Jones, Thomas, Street etc.

Simply put - if we can actually draft a real WR1 it makes the team way better faster than any dlineman.
The only reason they would trade Buckner and then draft another DL would be financial. I'm thinking they like Jones and some of there other guys enough that they will go WR or OL. There are supposed to be 4 or 5 top tier tackles in this draft. If they drafted one they could use him in the rotation or maybe at guard until Staley retires.

We have Jones, AA, Bosa and a lot of question marks after them.
We've been looking for a top flight WR for years now. We finally have a chance to get one, I hope that's what we do despite all the draft capital we've sunk into the position in recent years.

Let it be our Nick Bosa of WRs.

I think what happened in the SB kind of helps show what the NFL is these days...offense sells.

If the refs play the whole "let them play" on the biggest stage then having all of our money or talent invested so much into the DL which can be held while the opposing team's speed kills us for big plays...then let's make sure we have the weapons to take advantage of that ourselves.

A DL with Bosa, Armstead, Jones, Ford is still excellent. It may not be the same level as one that includes Buckner but I think those guys can hold down the fort and if our offense can become truly scary that gives us a better chance to win in today's NFL.

exactly. were used to having so many d linemen fans want to keep that depth. Nobdoy was as deep as we were last year. we needed it, but the odds are it will be a healthier year.

Solly has been a giant disappointment and Street has had multiple setbacks with knee injuries. I like Taylor more than those two and even he's coming off a torn ACL which he tore in late December. Blair also may sign else where. The point is the depth really has more concerns than some of you wish to admit right now.

And yet I would still take a WR. Get a body for the line later in the draft. We have our starters. I can see an edge before a dt
Tee Higgins
I mean if the Colts thought there were a few good d-line prospects at 13, they would have kept the pick. DeFo is clearly anyone better than what they could have gotten. That's why I don't think we are looking d-line at all. This is a strong o-tackle and receiver draft, I expect us to go that route or trade back for more picks if one of these qb's start dropping.
What if by chance all 3 WRS are gone, or at least the ones that Shanny likes are gone. What about taking the edge rusher from LSU. chaisson? Or whatever his name is. We cannot depend on Ford.

Very easy answer, trade back, and maybe draft Mims?
