I hope it’s a train wreck and NE trades up for a bust.

Starts on Thursday and I also hope it's a train wreck for NE.

When has BB ever had a train wreck draft?

I'm just hoping that SF can add some talent and not have the SB loser hangover that usually occurs.

Bill has been in the game long enough to NOT do any knee-jerk trading and generally lets the draft come to him. In fact, I think he’s more apt to trading back than up. The one time I can remember trading back didn’t work out was when in 2009 he traded with Green Bay and the Packers chose Clay Matthews with NE’s 1st round pick. 🤦

As far as SF goes, other than their two 1st round picks, iirc, they’re thin in the 2nd to 5th rounds so would seem like candidates to trading back to get picks for Friday. Their back-to-the-Super Bowl window is getting smaller as the rookie contracts of those high draft picks start expiring (...case in point Buckner...).

I keep reading the same thing but I’ve seen it more with the 31st pick, not the 13th. They can grab one of the premiere WRs or top DL with that early pick. But no matter what we read or hear, the Niners still have to find a willing partner so it really depends on what’s left when their pick comes up.

^ major drop off on talent after the top 10-15 this draft even though it’s deep at WR.

I am interested to see what Miami does, how Cincinnati will screw it up, and the Bears do nothing because the GM wasted picks to get the wrong QB one spot earlier when nobody else wanted him.

Which is why SF should keep that 13th pick. I know Buckner is a talent but think the Colts overpaid. Phillip Rivers aside, they're NOT a (high-priced) DL away from the playoffs...let alone SB.

If Foles beats out MT for the starting job, the GM should be fired.

And it looks as if the Patriots are trading Gronk and a 7 for Tampa's 4. Reuniting Brady and Gronk.

Tampa is putting all of their chips on the table. SB or bust. They better spend some picks on linemen to protect Brady. He's got the receivers and now the TE.

With Gronk and OJ Howard, Bucs can now line up with double TEs and do whatever they want to do out of that personnel group. Cameron Brate, the other TE, is decent enough too.

Buckner is a great talent, but is more $ than they can handle to expand the roster. I though it was a good move by them, ESPECIALLY because players SEE an organization treat a player right by moving him to maximize HIS earnings while moving their roster forward. It will pay off in the locker room to sell their vision.

Probably not.
Got my moneyshot with the Chief's Super Bowl win.
Don't otherwise care about the NFL or the draft.
Sports starved so badly, I'm a 40% shot of watching anyway.
