Kingspoint Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 I posted this two days ago at 4:00 p.m. on another site (I might have posted it here, also, but I can't remember): John Lynch was quoted as saying that the 49ers have 22 players listed with 1st Round grades, which is higher on their board than their average number of 1st Round grades on a given year. The 49ers and John Lynch are among the very best at evaluating talent. They hit on more players than other teams do since Lynch has been there. So, one of the huge questions about the draft is, "how many 2nd Round rated QB's will go in the 1st Round and in the top-22 picks that would push some of this 1st Round Graded talent down further in the draft". For teams like the Bengals, who pick at #18, that's a huge question. If the board followed the graded talent that the 49ers have given, then that would make 5 players left for the Bengals to choose from that are truly 1st Round grades. Add in a team like the 49ers, who sit at #31, and they are going to be eyeing a trade into the early 20's to grab a player they think has fallen significantly. There's almost zero chance that the 49ers are going to not be active on the trade market on Day 1 of the draft. They'll try to make a trade with one of these teams: 13) Las Vegas Raiders 14) New Orleans Saints 15) Indianapolis Colts 16) Seattle Seahawks 17) Jacksonville Jaguars 18) Cincinnati Bengals 19) Los Angeles Rams 20) Pittsburgh Stealers 21) Miami Dolphins 22) Philadelphia Eagles 23) Minnesota Vikings (from Cleveland through Houston) I went as far as #13 as I find it highly unlikely that the #13 pick will be owned by the Raiders when that pick comes up. Again, for every QB that isn't a 1st Rd grade that goes before the Bengals' pick, that's one more player that falls to them that they can get giddy about. Of course, many will be getting giddy about them. Quote

|BlackJesus| Posted April 26 Author Report Posted April 26 Bengals should trade for Mayer from Vegas now. 1 Quote
JC Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Dallas Turner has to be in the discussion at 18 if he’s there right? Quote
Kingspoint Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 There's still good QB's available in the 2nd Round. Quote

HavePityPlease Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 This does seem like a BPA pick for the Raiders. Now the question is - what if one of the top 2 DEs is what we're looking at? Bye bye Trey? Quote

Kingspoint Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 I'd love for the Bengals to take Cooper to play CB. We can add a great WR in the 2nd Round. There's almost no bad choices for the Bengals in the 1st. Can't think of anything that would not be a good selection. 1 Quote

MichaelWeston Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Raiders scooped up Tanner Gentry from our practice squad last year. Quote
T-Dub Posted April 26 Report Posted April 26 Goes to show how much the emphasis on calling games to promote scoring has devalued the defense Quote
