I'm thinking defense will be the way we go with #1 with either a DB or Edge rusher, but if Pitts, Chase, or a top tier QB falls into our laps from a top 5-7 projection the brass should pull the trigger. If we trade out I feel pretty sure it will be down and not up.

The niners will go defense first round and Kyle shanahan as a offense coach he believes in drafting and adding defensive line and keep adding to your strength. The niners will probably go edge pass rusher because that's what lynch and shanahan believe in. They might trade back a couple spots but they will go defense. They won't draft a Qb that early instead they will probably draft davis mills in the 3rd round.

I think if they don't go with my prediction in QB at #12, I would hope they go Edge Rusher perhaps Gregory Rousseau or Jaelan Phillips.

Id love to see QB OR Offensive Weapon like one of the TOP WR or Pitts.
OLine is stronger (and get a Guard in Round 2 or 3), now give us another Weapon to Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle and Mostert and this offense will explode.

Agree, but Davis Mills is injury-prone so I hope they pick another QB that has a much better injury record.
Having said that, I do hope they also get some good young raw OLinemen in the draft to back up Mack and Trent. I wouldn't mind them using a couple of the three fifth round picks for those two spots.

QB/OT/ER
Pretty much only positions worth a first round pick year in and year out IMO. Anything else is a luxury behind those positions. If there is any shortage of talent at those 3 spots that is the way to always go. Only when they have those spots locked down should they go in any other direction. A shutdown corner would be next

If they go defense in the 1st RD they need to trade down because #12 is too early for the level of talent at DE position, Niners could get the #1 edge rusher in this class between 20-25.

The more i think about it, I think 49ers will trade up to get a QB. Here are my odds of who they will draft:
Justin Fields 2 - 1
Mac Jones 5 - 1
Trey Lance 10 - 1
Zach Wilson 20 - 1
Trevor Lawrence 1,000,000 - 1
Jets will take Zach at #2 so price will be too steep. Fields most likely can be had at #4. Jones will be there are #12 and Lance 50/50 chance he'll be there at #12. I think Lynch would take Jones over Lance, but my prediction is the trade-up for Fields.
Jones is more pro ready and a better overall pure QB than any top 5 QBs. Mac would also fit perfect with Kyle's offense.

Are all these QBs supposed to be good? I don't remember this many QBs coming out with people thinking they all go top 10.
