Man I hope this doesn't happen because I want Berry but if they did trade down they could probably get 4 starters in the first 2 rounds.

I want Berry or Clausen. I wouldnt cry if they traded down to get Thomas. I just want this shit to be done with so I can stop obsessing over it...

Are you also doing the under the breath mumbling about who KC should get in each round at work too?

I would hope they would get high quality starters, not just guys that start.

I don't think Hunt has anything to do with this.

IF .... this happens it will be all Pioli

I figured that was a given. :)

some people think that this year the 1st round talent extends almost 50-60 picks.

Depends. I've actually done some thinking about this and I think Earl Thomas will be a really good safety so will Chad Jones. They won't be as good as Berry though. I'd have to see what the Chiefs get for the fifth pick before I can get pissed off.

Oh, and I agree.

But I guess that's where decision making and evaluation come into play.

IF the Chiefs were to trade back, I'd be thrilled to see them choose Witherspoon, Bryant, Spiller or Thomas. It wouldn't be Berry or Clausen, but any two of those guys would certainly make the Chiefs a more dangerous team immediately.

I'd hate to see them trade back to grab Baluga, Williams, Dan Williams or McClain. That would suck.

If you go by the draft chart the 49ers would have to switch 1's and give up their 2nd and probably a late round choice (5th or after)

ya know, in a draft that has 50 or so players with a first round grade (about twice the usual amount) trading down isnt as bad as some are making it out to be.

Texans hold #20, which is worth 850 draft value points.

We hold #5 that holds 1700.

They would likely have to give up their second rounder (#51) and their first next year to trade up to 5.

That would give us something like

#20
#36
#50
#51

this year that is essentially having FOUR first round draft picks ...and an additional first next year.

Flame me all you want, but that is a scenario I would pull the trigger for.

I wouldn't even be interested in something like this last year because the talent pool wasn't even close to as good as this year.

This will likely end up as one of the deepest drafts in NFL history once its all said and done and I wouldn't scoff at that many selections. Tough part of that is that we will be basically out of the talk of getting one of the top qbs next year (or in the next draft in all likelyhood) with that much of a talent infusion to the roster and the weak record next year.

1) Clausen
2) Berry
3) trade down for full value
4) Graham
5) McClain

:D

A Whale? :D

It definitely makes sense why they would pull the trigger considering this team has alot of holes to fill.

This place is going to be must see tv Thursday night.
