Vikings trade out. 49ers take WR Brandon Ayiuk

Nice pick for them

I'm loving nbc sports Boston Pats draft coverage... absolutely nothing, they're showing "Sneaker Shopping" with Kemba Walker...you'd maybe they'd have Curran, Perry etc on to analyze the draft/trade/talk about players available...

 

[Deus Irae]

completely different situation. Blue chip prospect available in Wirfs. I’m sure TB was not the only team inquiring about moving up and they really didn’t want to get leaped and miss out on a big need.

Falcons were being reported as trying to trade up

 

[Kasmir]

We were paid a 3rd to move back 13 spots.

Niners were paid a 4th to move back 1 slot.

Every team uses draft value charts which encompass the league consensus on the non-linearity inherent in the draft positions values. The NEP/LAC trade is completely in accordance with the consensus.

49er's have a whole of talent, they are going to be real good next year.

You guys surprised he traded down? Now he can get two players probably equal to what he could have got for one pick.

**** You Millionaires telling us to stay home ..GFY

D'Andre Swift to the Dolphins


Edit: This got changed. Dolphins traded out

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Like I said we need like 6 good players murder the middle rounds is the key to this draft

 

[Uptown]

Can we trade WRs during the draft?

 

[skinnydog]

Does every college senior own a black pleather sectional? Just curious.

Yes, but only CeeDee knows how to fill it.

 

[stcjones]

We are going to be so bad next year. 8-8 is an optimistic prediction. No Brady, no van noy or Collins. No reliable weapons on offense for stidham to throw to even if he is decent. Football won't be fun anymore

Yeah have to be prepared for several rough seasons ahead....hopefully won’t be 15-20 years plus until next championship.....

Keeping beating that drum.

 

[festy1986]

The difference between picks 13 and 14 is 50 points. Pick 117 in the 4th is worth 60. What is your point?

That if your still assigning fake points to quantify value on picks that you got not one clue.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

49ers are going to be wild. No wonder they decided that they didn't need to upgrade to Brady.

Aiyuk trade was cool. They traded 117 and 176, but 117 is the pick they got from Tampa for moving back 1 spot earlier, and I’m sure they still got the guy they wanted back then. So it’s sort of like they got to move up several spots in the first just for 176.

He reminds me of the guy they already have on the roster. Deebo Samuel. He has quickness. More weapons for jimmy G.

I'm not a "journey" guy. Show me the results. That said we get to witness Bill Belichick rebuild first hand. Between this year next year we have like 25 picks or close to it. This team is going to look very very different in two years. For once it's not about the results we get to sit back and watch the best ever rebuild.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Yeah have to be prepared for several rough seasons ahead....hopefully won’t be 15-20 years plus until next championship.....

Doesn't help when Bill approaches the draft like the Pats just made the superbowl and trades down yet again.

 

[manxman2601]

Yeah the confidence behind that comment was notable.

‘Yup. My first thought was Hurts or Kmet, but then it occurred to me that there is one player you could be fairly confident about because there aren’t many teams with a need at a particular position. That one player is Jordan Love. Green Bay and maybe Detroit are the only teams that might have any chance of taking him.
