This draft is gonna look pretty ugly after the 3rd round.Dump all 3 6ths for a 3rd and all 5ths for a 3rd.Gotta move up.
 
I kind of disagree, there looks like a boat load of value picks down there this year. If we were a couple of players away from being a contender then this is good approach but our roster is paper thin, we need to use those picks.
 
I would also disagree because this year we need quantity. We are not at the point of sacrificing quantity for quality yet. With what our FO found in UDFA in 2019 and with how we have done in the 5th round over the years they seem to be okay at finding talent late in the draft...we could use those picks. Are the late picks always going to be a hit? No. But we still need to add depth wherever we can.
 
Well...We still don't know what else we will have in the end, but based on our current three picks in those rounds, we are still about 3 picks short in those rounds to have the value of one very late 3rd.
 
you can find quality later in the draft. Preston Williams? Undrafted. Tom Brady? The list goes on. The difference in quality from 5 to 7 probably isnt much, so you may as well keep the picks.
 
I somewhat agree with the OP but for much more productive reasons.

I'm looking to acquire more 3rd's and 4th's this year while also flipping some of those later picks for better valued picks next year.

Do the exact opposite of what the Cleveland Browns did, which is use up all of your mighty draft resources in a very short period of time, including trading a 1st for OBJ (LOL).

Instead, keep the drawer full for the next 3-4 years.

The last thing the rest of the NFL wants to see year after year is one team dominating the draft. It should be the only thing we want to see.
 
I'd not try to package a bunch of late picks to move up; one round but I'd use a late pick if we want to move up in the 2nd or 3rd round. Yes we need quantity but we also really need quality. As far as our 1st round picks, I'd move down some spots(with the picks from Pitt and Houston) if we get an extra 1st round pick for 2021.

Agree! I want as many picks as possible. Draft picks are hit or miss regardless of round.
 
Draft Trey Smith ,Mecki Becton, Tyler Bidaz and our Oline will be solid
 
Just saying...

George Kittle TE 49ers -- dude is awesome!

drafted in the 5th round (146th overall)
 
I am in the camp of those who are advising we need quantity over quality because the depth is paper thin. However, having just said that... if a team wanted one of the 5th's this year for a 4th next year or a 6th for a 5th, I would not hesitate to accept that offer. So. i guess I am also in the camp of spread the draft capitol over 3-4 years instead of 1 or 2 years.
