Man this is a crapshoot at the moment. Anything could go brilliantly, or bomb out completely. I'm glad I'm not Pace at the moment. My first thought was to go after a QB in the 1st round, probably Watson. I'd read an analyst saying that passing on Watson in the draft would be like passing on Michael Jordan, and while I thought he was obviously exaggerating, it's still a pretty good recommendation. However, now there's people saying that he's rated as a 2nd or 3rd rounder, which obviously suggests that it would be a mistake to pick him at #3.
As for Garoppolo, he obviously has some talent and potential, but no one knows for certain if that will translate into him being a legit star here. That said, I'm tempted to take a chance on him if Pace, Fox, etc are sure he's the right guy, but I definitely don't want to overpay. For me, there's no way I'd give up pick 3 with the amount of defensive talent available. If we take a guy like Allen with that pick and can land a guy like Eric Berry as a free agent, we could go a long way towards building that ridiculously intimidating defence that we've long been known for.
Looking over all the options, I'm wondering if we could get a guy like Tyrod Taylor in free agency and land a guy like Trubisky in the 2nd round to groom?
