Dutch Oven Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Let's say the Browns had made that trade... their 5th this season, a 3rd next for Trent Williams. Who would have you wanted the Browns to take at #10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... I'm all over the phone taking trade down offers... best offer I get so long as it keeps me in front of LAC so I can land Murray... ... which in turn sets up my late third round differently... although Phillips might be able to handle the Will as well.

Well I would have traded back but that wasn’t an option in your question....

That's what I ended up with too... trade down and get Murray. If I couldn't trade down, I might have considered Jeudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 In an at best semi-related matter... Looks like we weren't the only one to help lower WSH's ask for Trent Williams... Joe Staley, SF's stud OT, held up his retirement announcement until after the deal was done... https://www.sfchronicle.com/49ers/article/49ers-Joe-Staley-announces-retirement-My-15226228.php Well played, Mr. Lynch... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Tom Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Joe Thomas stated in numerous interviews that he had Wills and Beckton as his #1 and #2. Beckton was only #2 because his ceiling could be higher. Thought Wills had the best technique and was the most ready to play and be great from day 1. Huge praise and a nice vote of confidence coming from the GOAT. Wills should be rock solid, and with Conklin.... No more excuse for baker to be crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Wills' vision that jumped off the screen throughout various game tapes that impressed me like no other lineman I've seen. It's even more evident in his downfield blocking on run plays when you look at a full game focus on him alone. I think we got the perfect tackle for the offense and the runners we have to execute that part of it. And the added plus of pass pro for the extra second or two that Baker needs to get the ball further downfield on target. Now if we can just get this damn virus to cooperate!

There's not a drop of "bust" in this kid. Nice floor under him. Ceiling? Not sure it's Joe T high, but there's some room there to grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
