What would you do? - Page 2

Many, if not all, NFL scouts and execs are agreeing that this is the best draft class in a long long time. With the amount of early entries in this draft class, it isn't a stretch to make the assumption that next year won't be nearly as good and therefore, in my opinion, the 2014 draft picks would be worth more than 2015. This draft is full of prospects who have a lot of potential but should have stayed in school for another year in order to improve; it also has a lot of pro-ready prospects as well. It is very deep at vitually every position, the only one that may be lacking is the S position but even that is a pretty decent class.

What would you do in this draft with these things in mind? Do you try to trade back in order to accumulate a few more picks in the top 100? Do you trade future picks in order to move up back into the 2nd round or further up in the first? Or do you sit still and hope that some talent slips to your later picks?

With the current state of our roster, I would have no problem trading future picks in order to gain more early round picks in this draft or to move up for a top 15 guy. How about you?

Who knows what the future holds. I would (almost) never trade future picks. As far as the Alex Smith trade....if he continues to perform as well as he did last year...giving up two second round picks was more than worth it. Now we can focus on other positions. I would trade down this year, maybe to the 49ers, and get our 2nd back.

Likely to only be a few considerations worth staying put at 23 for. Really depends on who is available then.. but trading a short way back to add another quality pick is a very attractive thought when looking at this draft class.

Yeah, I would trade all of my picks so I could move up and take a tailback...wait that was done before and it didn't work out (ask Mike Ditka about that) .

No I wouldn't.

I'd trade all our 2015 picks for the #1 overall this year. Well, not all. I'd have to keep the 2nd 3rd and 4th rd picks but yeah I'd trade next years 1st 5th 6th and 7th for #1 this year.

Then we could draft
Johnny Football and trade Alex Smith for a 2nd and 3rd next year.
