What kind of trading up scenario do you like?
I went to third because that's as high as I could get without trading future picks. I was going to take whichever of Maye or Daniels was still available.
I think, with the reality of the QB tax. I don't actually want to trade up to 2/3. Maybe 4/5. But I think it'll cost more than I'd be willing to pay. 11&23 for 4/5 might be what the trade charts say is fine, but really, those teams are going to squeeze us if we want to come up and I'd rather not part with 3 1s for 1 guy. When we could get someone like Penix at 11 and a bluechip defensive player at 23. I think the needs of the team as a whole is more than just a QB. I'm not averse to trading back. Like GR did in his mock, pulling back and getting a fist full of second and thirds is really an interesting prospect.

I like the trading back approach too, but we’re not quite as QB desperate.
I’ll be really curious to see where Penix goes.
reply
I think he gets reached for. It's that 1st round 5th year option benefit. Plus general QB tax.

I think so too. There are so many QB needy teams. Why wouldn't one of them trade into the back of the 1st to grab him?
reply
I think the 49ers might trade back if they can’t get an OLine or DLine stud.
reply
Would it have to be an OT or would they consider interior guys with that pick?
I think the stud tackles and d-linemen will be gone.
