Interesting, as long as its the 74th pick from SF 3rd, that would give us picks, 34,48,61,74,and 79. That's 5 players in the 34-79 ranks.

He not yellin
Let the trades begin. SF will be moving up. There are some teams that want to move back, too. I am ok if we move back if we have chances to plug holes where we have needs with decent guys (which we have on both sides of the ball), but we dont pick this high that much so if a dream player is still on the board a' la DD last year, you have to make the pick and adjust the rest of the draft accordingly.
This isn't a great draft at the front end, but supposed to be deep. San Fran, with so many picks, will try to move some for 2014 picks in hopes there are better players to choose from next year. Plus, they don't really have a lot of holes, and they are a pretty young team as well, so they don't really need the picks right now.
I think a lot of teams will try to trade down, but I'm not sure there will be many teams interested in trading up. Does bode well for us, though, to get a couple quality players in the first three rounds.
Why trade down? Makes no sense to me... we need safety, olb ....etc

"HAIL TO PITT"
NFL executives are saying this could be the worst draft in years!
Sorry I misread it. Team executive, John Elway!
Team executive: This year's draft might be worst in some time

The criticism of the 2013 NFL Draft continues. John Elway, Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations, said it's not top-heavy . Some have said there isn't a single quarterback worthy of a first-round pick.
One high-ranking team executive told CBS Sports' Mike Freeman this is the worst draft in a decade .
"Worst draft in past 10 years or longer," the executive said. "When we look back at this draft in five or 10 years we might view it as one of the worst we've seen in some time."
The talent is considered deep along the offensive and defensive lines, but there are few true stars. Current NFL stars who were no-question first-rounders in their respective draft classes include: quarterbacks Andrew Luck , Robert Griffin III , Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford ; defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh ; linebacker Von Miller ; and wide receiver A.J. Green .
"There will be 13-15 players picked in the first round that are true first-rounders," the executive said. "That's a fairly low number."
In comparison, the executive said there were 20-23 players with first-round talent in 2012, which is average.
Every draft has those who outperform expectations and become cornerstone players. Right now, there doesn't seem to be many who will be in that category this year.
