Hmmm, not quite unexpected.

Not surprised. I don't think 4 spots make that much of a difference in this range.

Was hoping TJ would be available for us at 33 but I guess not. Oh well.

They could've grabbed Rueben Foster or TJ Watt. TT is a guru I'll tell ya

I think a lot of us are but I think TT is going for quantity (number of picks) over quality (established CB).

And there you go!! Freaking San Fran trades back on to get him!!
Yea i would have liked TJ for sure...
The only knock i can think of is he won't be super versatile in the NFL... I don't believe he could play inside...
My thinking is they want to keep Clay and Perry outside... altho I would rather have Clay inside and drafted Watt.

I wonder what the odds are that our 3rd or the CLE 4th could be used to get Sherman... lol

How did we not get a 1st out of this? I mean we TRADED a first? Has Ted had a stroke and nobody told us?

Packers could have gotten either Watt or Foster with the 29th pick. I guess defense wasn't that big of a priority. All of the top pass rushers are off the board so TT may go with a RB or o lineman since both Lamp and Cook are available.

Obviously that is not going to be enough for Sherman. But between us moving back in the 1st and Seattle moving back (twice) there could be a potential trade that could work. Lots of picks between the two teams.
Guess we wait till tomorrow to see.

TT had a stroke years ago...a brain stroke.

19 hours or so to listen to phone calls. It should be interesting.
Sherman's value has DROPPED since it was made PUBLIC that he wanted out...

Idk if TT really cares about drafting defense. He's probably figured out he stinks And has given up taking defenders in the first rd. He'd much rather trade the pick and help other teams get better.

Trading up from 33 to 29 doesn't net a 1st in any sane scenario I know of. I think they are slightly ahead in the draft trade chart.
Dropping back 4 picks, still plenty of players to pick that could have went in the end of the 1st. Cook, King, Wilson, Lamp. Packer stay pat at 29 and pick any of those 4 guys, I'm fine.
People are going to lose their stuff over Watt, but if he is TJ Jones out of Utah St... no one blows a gasket.
For some reason I think Mixon. No one in the back end of the draft was going to pick a back so, easy slide down.
... well Watt would come in at an overloaded OLB corps with Clay and Perry...
Foster I think shoujld have garnered SERIOUS consideration....
That said, our BIGGEST need is still cornerback so

Great move. Still several good prospects on the board. Bowser, Willis, King, Awuzie, Lamp, McDowell, etc.
Love grabbing the extra 4th without dropping down a tier of player.

If they take Mixon I would be surprised. With all of his baggage?
