Tyrann Mathieu has been our only major external FA addition that has been worth the money.
That’s an important lesson here. Load up on the Austin Reiter’s, Damien Wilson’s and Dan Sorenson types who just do their job effectively, look for lottery tickets like we did with Ward and Ogbah and then attack the draft.
So ridiculous, we need a LT end of story over any other position right now. Move up to get Penei Sewelle.
We need an OT. If we were to "think" about moving up then we might as well go all the way to the top 6 to grab Penei Sewell. That right now is the ONLY player I would want to trade up for. His projection lately was to the Bengals at 5 but they just sighed Reiff. We moved up for Mahomes why not move up for Sewell and move forward. Fill in other needs after draft for June 1 releases with the money held from not getting Trent Williams. Chiefs gave up pick 27, a 3rd and the first in 2018 for Patrick Mahomes. Give the Bengals our 31st, a 3rd and 2022s 1st and see if they bite. Just my immediate .02

A reminder...
Geez dude...we aren't jumping 31 to top 5. Get over it. Would literally take at minimum our first rounder in '21, '22 and '23. Minimum. [Reply]

Hell Deforest Buckner only got the 49ers the 13th pick.
Our late first round picks wouldn’t do it. We’d probably have to trade them Tyreek. [Reply]
I was trying to think of a way - it does not mean I am right! Yes it would be extremely expensive but actually wanted opinions, nothing more. Forgive me. [Reply]
I trust Veach to target a group of OTs that can play the left and for him to move up to get one. Even if it costs a premium pick next year to do it. [Reply]
