Two picks tonight for Miami (2-16, 3-34), Three for SF (2-11, 3-11, 3-36)  If I was breaking a wishbone for Miami (and SF) tonight, I would hope for the best O-lineman and best "pure cover on an island" cornerback. Throw a WR in there for SF's other 3rd.

I saw a recent mock of the second round which saw us getting Tate Ratledge after a huge run on the CB position ahead of us.

I have an awful feeling we will find a starter at one position, but not both.

Miami has traded up with LV here in round 2...

YES!!

OG Jonah Savaiinaea has been excellent for my AZ Wildcats. Glad he went to a team I can cheer for.

Hopefully should be our replacement for Eichenberg this season and onward.

The big question is do we also move up our third to also try and nab a starting CB?

I just saw the cost of that move - our third round pick (98), one of our fourths (135).

I guess it had to be done, but if want a starting CB from this draft we are probably going to need to trade up again. That said, the predicted run on CB hasn't started... yet.

My Niners are up shortly, and if CB Will Johnson is still there, I'd be good with that.  TE Mason Taylor would make a nice tandem with Kittle...

Jets got Taylor.  Roll Eyes

Shavon Revel Jr. should be a good prospect at CB if like others you think that Johnson's red flags are too big to ignore.

It's staggering seeing his stocks plummet like this... as well as Shedeur Sanders who at this rate may slip right through the second round!

Edit. Alfred Collins should be a solid pick by you, he's about the best of the DTs that were left.

Oh no!!  Mason Taylor goes to the Jets...that sucks.

49ers double down on the D-line with the big Texas DT, Alfred Collins.

Well I'm happy with their 1st two picks. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I like that they at least went for some size and strength. Never underestimate being able to convert a 3rd and one or stop a 3rd and one. Maybe they will bring a bit of attitude and leadership as well. Our leaders have been far too much finesse for the last couple of years. Let's see if we can develop them now.

Will Johnson to the Cards, so I'll get to see him a few home games..

Does anyone else here see the bitter irony that we had to use our top picks this year to get replacements for Wilkins and Hunt, including the compensation picks we got for letting them walk?  Shocked

Benjamin Morrison to the Bucs just now, a very Todd Bowles choice for them to make.

You wonder if the predicted run on the rest of the top CB prospects will start soon?

That's part of what the draft is about, you're replacing expensive FA's with low cost rookie contracts.

We didn't let them walk, we couldn't afford them. Perhaps if Miami wouldn't have given so much in contracts to other players?

Man, I hate to say this, but it looks like the Jets are kicking ass in this draft...
