Allen is a good player and can help in a lot of ways. I prefer a guy like James becuase he has more height and length. But Allen would be a nice add to the position. My my guess is he goes to Miami and helps Flores establish culture ala Mike Tolbert.

Heres a good opinion piece: https://vikingsterritory.com/2019/opinion/lets-settle-the-anthony-barr-debate# Sorry I don't know how to do the fancy linky stuff with the picture. I think Barr is soft. Realistically though, I think he wants to be a 3-4 OLB and wants to be on the west coast. My best guess is he goes to Arizona.

I think they re-sign him for less. The like him, but weren't going to pay him 7.3 million

I don't love Anthony Barr. When I watch him, I think he's soft. Probably just me. Adding a Sam backer does make sense though and allows the team to use Lorax as more of a rusher. So I uunderstand the thought process, but I've never liked Barr.

Kudos to NFL network for seeing that he'd be a great talent.

Yeah I think he was definitely over drafted and hasn't panned out for them. Probably more of a mid first round guy. He is similar to the types of guys McDermott has made use of in the past, Charles Johnson, Mario Addison, Wes Horton etc.

He was also on the radar for the Panthers that year.

They are close. Former roommates actually!

Carolina had him in for a pre-draft visit that year as well. I'm not sure what he would cost though. I feel like the Niners will take what they can get, as he has been a bust for them. The last time a trade like this went down, the Browns traded the #6 overall pick Barkevious Mingo, to the Patriots for a fifth round pick. The biggest difference there is that Mingo was traded after his third year. Another top ten bust, Derrick Harvey was held on to for too long and he wound up getting waived for nothing. Thomas has been that level of bust for the 49ers in his first two years and I think he'd be a better fit for our scheme. I'd throw them a 5th for sure. He's only 23 years old, going to be 24.

I know he said free agency, but two under the radar guys who could come available and would be great fits imo, Solomon Thomas of the 49ers and Trey Hendrickson of the Saints. Thomas is a bigger end that fits the McDermott mold. If the 49ers draft Joey Bosa, I think they move Thomas. The other guy Hendrickson is another bigger end who has been a part time player and will be losing more playing time to Marcus Davenport. Perhaps a reclamation project like Noah Spence.

One guy I think is kind of interesting is Shane Ray. i'd love to see what he could do a a full time defensive end. He's still young and should be cheap.

I'm guessing sign Thomas Davis and move Lorax to full time end. But that doesn't exactly address the future of the position.

With Metcalf there is just too much risk, production wise, injury wise, all of those things. Yeah he may be great, but he also might be Stephen Hill. I think there is way less risk with Hockenson. I think he's a game changer, but at worst he's a solid tight end. He won't flame out.

We are in a good spot. I think Murray and Haskins go before we pick. And if Drew Lock really is the apple of the Broncos' eye, anybody who wants to jump them would be calling us. I like where we are. Bosa Williams Allen Oliver Wilkins White Gary One of these guys has to be on the board at 9 with 2 QBs going.

I might be in the minority here, but I really don't like the wide reciever class. Metcalf and Harry are interesting, I wouldn't touch either in the top ten. I hope we just go BPA.

If we somehome came away with Ed Oliver and Dalton Risner I would be a very happy man.

If all this Murray stuff is true, it's just coaching change stuff. Kingsbury knows what type of quarterback he wanst for his system, and apparently Rosen is not it. It's just simply the effect of a regime change. The Cardinals would have zero leverage. And honestly, most teams can just decide turn around and draft a guy instead. It's terrible timing for a trade imo.

My best guess is a third and a fifth. The Redskins have two thirds and two fifths thanks to gaining 4 comp picks. The trade would leave them with 7 picks.

I think they definitely get Paradis, there is the Gase connection and he is a perfect fit for their zone based scheme. Saffold fits well there as well. Not sure they get both. I'd prefer Mitch Morse and Daryl Williams though.

Saffold s a massive upgrade. I did not think we had a realistic chance, but now with reports saying he isn't going back to LA, we have as good a chance as any.

This is starting to remind me of that 2008 Devin Thomas-Limas Sweed- Malcolm Kelly draft. Everyone kept mocking us Thomas in the first round becuase he blew up the combine and we had a huge need there. He went in the second round with a bunch of other guys, the best of which turned out to be DeSean Jackson and Jordy Nelson. We took James Hardy and got Stevie in the seventh. That's kind of how I feel about this draft.

This is the guy I think I want at this point. I think he is Geno Atkins. And I also love about ten other defensive guys. I wonder though, where does Trappaso have Mason Rudolph going?

I have to agree. This guy is a massive risk for a million different reasons. It isn't just one thing, which is really scary. He is a freak for sure. But I just can't pass on all of the defensive talent on the board for him. I'd rather just sign Chris Conley, whose measurables are the same and has been in the league for four years already. At least then the risk is just money.

Agreed! And just to kind of add to that, the offensive E-P system is really about complimentary routes. It's about guys doing their jobs. It really doesn't require a #1 guy. It requires the the QB to read things and find the open guy.

I think the Lions are crazy if they pass on him. Their linebacker core has been terrible for a while. White is so good.
