Waited as long as I could to make it. This day is better than Christmas!:

 

[NinersFan80]

Sucks I can't follow along with everyone.. Have to work until 8:30 central.. Plan to record it and start it from the beginning. Skip the shitty parts and maybe I can catch up but I doubt it

 

[CalamityX11]

What would Calamity Bitch this year?

Actually, I didn't last yr... nope I was happy actually...the Vance one had me a bit curious but nothing outrageous, can we make to back to back?!?!?!??!

 

[Rvnight18]

Today my daughter turns 1! And it's also draft day! My head is spinning in every direction.

 

[Jikkle]

Alright Bold Prediction time:

We'll trade to have two 1st rounders tonight.

Not the move I would do but just the gut feeling I have because I believe the 9ers are looking for impact and also with 1st round picks you have them locked up for 4 years with the option of a 5th year.

Hey guys,

I haven't posted in quite some time, but not being able to watch live, with a track meet going. I'll be hoping we get the guy that's gonna lead us back to where we rightfully belong.

Personally, I'd love to trade up (not too far) to get one of the top CB. OR A top WR that will start right away and contribute!

Draft night is like Christmas Eve to me! Happy Draft Day to you all!!

GO NINERS!!

I almost don't want to watch the NFL Draft on the NFL Network because EVERY OTHER GODDAMN commercial is "reliving the championship run of YOUR Seattle Seahawks"

THAT'S SOOO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING!!!!!

 

[purguy12]

Yessssssss The Day is here. Cant wait for my draft party tonight. Beers and wings all night. Lets Go 49ers. I want either Evans, Dennard, Gilbert or Cooks in the 1st rd. Im ok with Beckham, Varrett, Fuller with the 1st pick. I do not want Lee, Benjamin or Roby in the 1st rd.

Prediction: I been saying it for about 3 weeks now. We will trade up with the Ravens. If Evans falls out of top 10 we trade up with Tenn. No way in hell we stay at 30.

Im watching it on ESPN.

If the Niners are not able to trade up which is unlikely, Ravens only have five picks, they can trade up to pick #17 just before the Jets and draft Cooks, ODB, or Fuller. If they're stuck at #30, maybe the Jags would like to move up into the late 1st round to get their QB. Niners get their early 2nd and possibly a 3rd and another pick. Niners will end up with three 2nd round picks an four 3rd round picks which would be great in this very deep draft.

 

[4lifer9er]

My prediction is that we trade up to 12 with the Gints and select Kyle Fuller..

 

[CalamityX11]

Bold Prediction: Manziel in top 10

Calamity wants the 49ers to select Justin Gilbert

Calamity watches the 49ers select Odell Beckham Jr

Calamity is surprised the 49ers traded up for Mike Evans

Calamity shits the message board because the 49ers traded out of the first

I think you're spot on Purguy. Although you and I both know Evans will be gone by the 7th pick. He will either go to the Raiders or the Bucs. Assuming there are no trades, the top 5 picks will probably be:

1. Texans - Clowney
2. Rams - Robinson[/B Stafford needs protection
3. Jaguars - Watkins Blackmon is suspended indefinitely
4. Browns - Manziel
5. Raiders - Evans

"8. I think I will be very surprised if the Niners, with six picks in the top 100, don’t make a big move, a Falcons/Julio Jones-type move, by the middle of the first round tonight."

They'd better not make that kind of move. I'm totally fine with trading up into the late-teens or 20s. I really don't like the idea of trading away so much draft capital in a strong draft for a single player.

 

[EaseUrStorm]

The big question is sitting tight, or making a big splash. If we move aggressively up to get a CB at around 15, then it will be harder to land a top WR without burning through a ton of picks. So I think Trent will probably make a move into the early to mid 20's for a CB, and then make another move up to the late first/early second for a WR. Once those positions are locked in, he'll start working the middle rounds (what's left anyway) to get future picks.

I think a bold prediction would be that we sit tight at 30. I'd be really surprised if that played out.

Congrats man. She looks like a cutie! With the draft moving back a couple weeks and landing on her birthday maybe that is a sign. Good things! And happy birthday to your little girl! Is she walking or anything yet?

I would like to move up, but not sell the farm like Atlanta did for Jones. I don't think we need to do anything like that, when we can still get very little drop off in talent moving up just a bit.
