MMQB: Inside 49ers' Bold Decision to Move Up in Draft

The Eagles worked exclusively with the Dolphins, and Roseman had to keep the trade under wraps in the two-plus weeks in between to allow for the bang-bang nature of how it eventually would go down. And with a pretty good decent chance the Bengals will take LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase at five (we mentioned in our mock this week that that Joe Burrow has given Cincinnati’s brass a glowing recommendation), Philly felt comfortable with the difference in talent between six and 12—and also operated with the knowledge that it’d be hard to get a future first (this being Miami’s slotted No. 1 in 2022) in exchange for moving down closer to the draft, particularly if it looked like the top four picks would be QBs.

(Also, this allows Philly to reset its roster, with a minimum of two 1s and two 2s—and more likely, so long as Carson Wentz stays healthy, three 1s in 2022—plus a cleaned-up cap to work with then.)


Eagles & Dolphins made their trade under the assumption that the first 5 picks are gonna go QB-QB-QB-QB-Chase :ehh:
:comeon:

Would love for us to get the RB Hubbard in the 3rd rd

Also wouldn't mind the corner from Cuse in the 3rd

Nah he didn't. I can tell you that.
He held his own against pretty much anybody.
I wanna say it was Jeudy he held down 2 years ago.
Im almost sure i watched someones highlight tape against him and they destroyed him. Pitts maybe?

Im sure youre probably right though

:ehh:


I read a good argument today saying taking a corner would be a bad move based on us going to cover 2 anyways.

I was all about taking a corner early before, but now i dunno

At 12, the value is at corner

I'd rather play it safe and get a guy we know who can be a 10 yr starter for us

Slay is what 30? We need a CB2 who can play on the outside desperately.

Then again, I see the temptation in drafting Davante Smith...

Parsons ran a 4.39 40? :patrice:






Im officially throwing my hat in with Parsons . We need to draft him :hubie:

I expect the Eagles will put more emphasis on LB based on the new DC (his scheme will be similiar to Zimmers in minn) but I still dont see Howie going LB that high- I can see DE, CB and MAYBE WR- I would say OT but this draft is deep with tackle talent...you can find really good players in the 2nd and 3rd rounds

Hubbard would be a steal in that round

I like the RB Javante Williams from UNC too, but he won't fall to the 3rd

I said all along, we should've drafted Dobbins last season...it doesn't hurt having 2 starting caliber RBs...esp with Miles being injury prone

we just need to split the baby with the first 4 picks, 2 off & 2 def
