Who says you can’t trade within your division? The 49ers have acquired the No. 31 pick from the Seahawks. With that pick, they will select Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster. The Seahawks will receive pick Nos. 34 and No. 111 in the deal.
Foster, at one point in time, was viewed as a top ten pick. However, his stock tumbled due to a handful of red flags.
- Red flag #1: Bad shoulder.
- Red flag #2: Getting into an argument with a hospital worker at the combine.
- Red flag #3: Submitting a watered down urine sample at the combine.
Still, he is immensely talented. If he stays on the right track, Foster could prove to be one of the best values in the entire 2017 draft.
Our first mock draft had Foster going to the 49ers within the top ten. It took a little longer, but Foster has landed in San Francisco.
I think this is a steal! 9ers had a great first day. Defense got better. Would’ve liked to see them go after a CB but they still did good because they needed pieces all over defense.
Had they somehow kept 34 (unlikely) Kevin King out of Washington would have been dope. Maybe he’ll fall to their next pick, but I doubt it.
Teez tabor and Sidney Jones will likely be there though
Teez would be a great pick that can make an immediate impact, where Jones is a future super star. Both have some red flags but no question about their talent. Would love to see us grab one (if not both) in the 3rd or by trading up.
49ers took him from the saints
