[NinerSickness]

Smart pick by the Colts. Werner will surprise many...

Werner's a great player. Solid pick.

 

[Dodub]

Rhodes or Patterson to Minny?

 

[BINGO]

CP, Tank, Jones, Rhodes, Hopkins, Hunter. I'm getting excited.

Rhodes and CP are thumbs up

 

[Dodub]

Damn there goes Rhodes

 

[BINGO]

Vikings are killing this draft

 

[ChrisPozz]

Ted Thompson always surprises me a couple times a draft but I'm not liking how this is setting up for them. Or Houston, Denver, NE, STL, DAL, or BAL. The rest of the way is going to be ROUGH on me emotionally.

Vikings are killing this draft

Well, they basically traded to get Rhodes for Harvin

 

[ChrisPozz]

Smart pick by the Colts. Werner will surprise many...

I tend to agree, depending on how he's used but in Pagano and company I trust. They went from one of the worst front office structures with one of the yuckier (made up word?) philosophies on how to build a team to one of my favorite structures and philosophies in the NFL.

 

[Dodub]

Patterson could go to GB or Houston. Imagine him in that Packers offense.... or opposite Andre Johnson.... Crazy

 

[BINGO]

I didn't see you guys' reaction to Eifert going to Cinci. But man is that a scary offense. Two TE sets with AJ Green. Lord have mercy!

Is Tubbs around?

 

[RobertPhD01]

CP, Tank, Jones, Rhodes, Hopkins, Hunter. I'm getting excited.

This and Hankins Go 49ers!!!!

 

[BINGO]

Well, they basically traded to get Rhodes for Harvin

Yeah I guess. So they're not really killing it.

I'd think that NE and Baltimore are our best trade up partners.

Hahahaha. Awesome.

This might be my most dreaded moment of this draft right here........

49ers get their safety after trading up
By Mike Sando | ESPN.com

LSU safety Eric Reid was an increasingly popular projection to the San Francisco 49ers as the 2013 NFL mock drafts piled up late this week.

The assumption was that the 49ers might get him at No. 31. But with New Orleans taking safety Kenny Vaccaro at No. 15, the 49ers put their considerable draft capital to use. They traded up to No. 18 and selected Reid in that spot, filling a need created when the team allowed Pro Bowl free safety Dashon Goldson to leave in free agency.

The 49ers traded the 31st and 74th overall choices to the Dallas Cowboys for the 18th pick. This trade favored San Francisco slightly on the traditional draft-value chart dating to the early 1990s. Dallas came out ahead by some of the more recently developed value charts, including those calculable on Steve Drake's site.

Value is in the eye of the beholder, of course. The 49ers obviously loved Reid, who projects as a player versatile enough to play either safety spot. Veteran strong safety Donte Whitner is entering the final year of his contract. With Goldson gone, the 49ers needed to address the position for the longer term, even with Craig Dahl arriving as insurance through free agency. Reid could start right away.

San Francisco entered this draft with a league-high 13 picks. That gave the 49ers ample flexibility to move up the board for a specific player. Reid was that player. He fills an immediate need. The 49ers still have two second-round choices, one third-rounder and two fourth-rounders. They could still use a defensive lineman; only two defensive tackles came off the board in the top 19 picks.

San Francisco is just getting started.
