No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's So and So to Green Bay) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").
Don't be a dick.
Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny. I'll also be starting player threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.
The @49ers have offered the @Packers the 3rd overall pick in this year's draft, plus other picks and a number of players from their current roster including Garoppolo for Aaron Rodgers. The Packers turned them down. First reported by @PAOnTheMic and confirmed by others.

There are probably specific exceptions, but more or less I think that'd be my rule.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bart Veatch [Reply]

I agree with this.
It really just depends on where you’re trading from though. If you’re in the high twenties or later, then it would cost way too much.
If you’re at like 17 and you want to move to 12, then it isn’t too crazy to get your guy. [Reply]
I was told #Saints GM Mickey Loomis is working the phone, trying to trade into the top 10, per sources. The primary reason isn’t for a QB, it’s actually for another position. Although, there is 1 QB (not named Trevor) who would change their minds if he was still available.

With what it cost them to move they have to take a QB, but when its Mac Jones or Trey Lance, yikes.
I mean Green Bay is NFC champion contender every year right now, why would they want your shit for a QB like Rogers. I think SF really hurt themselves by trading away all those picks. [Reply]
An NFL official said Caleb Farley tested positive for COVID twice and therefore will not be allowed to watch the draft with friends and family “for the safety of all. We wish him the best of luck.” https://t.co/UXUUnq9w9N
