Imagine this:

The 49ers offer you their

1st
2nd
3rd for you #5 pick.

Your pick has a value of 1800

the 49ers picks are

1st(16 overall) is worth 1000
2nd(48th) is worth 430
3rd(80th) 195

thats 1625....you would even get all the value for your pick.

yet you would have the 16th,48th and 80th picks.

Thats a much better building block to build on with gibbs isn't it?

There is much less of a chance to have all 3 players "bust"

Can you live with the this trade?

Is that a likely offer? It's something worth considering for sure. But the likelihood would be for 2 roster-fillers out of that, maybe even a very good roster filler. If I was so convinced of getting a Pro Bowler with my #5 I'd take that still.
I know what you are saying, and of course this is where the FO's earn their corn, but if you can draft a real impact player, surely you gotta?

If he is no question a knock out player.

The only guaranteed homerun in this draft is taylor.

Depending how the 1st 4 picks go you need to be open to trading out.

That's why I say take Taylor. If he has gone, then we trade down because we will still get our main need of DE further down. Then, we can't lose by dropping a few places for another pick.
