Jason Licht on Rob Gronkowski and Round One of the NFL Draft

They didn’t have to trade up though. I was worried they had given up a 3rd rounder or better

@Big White Duck Bucs could not know who would go ahead of them. MIA was a possibility, so it was right to move up one spot to get one of the top 4 OTs. I like it. A 4th rounder is not that huge. Maxx Crosby is one from last year, Hand from 2018 and Eddie Jackson in 2017 of good recent 4th rounders. I guess it was worth. Imagine MIA really trading up to take Tristan, we´d all be screaming now.

@bowlchamps37 What are you talking about? 49ers were going to take Kinlaw at #13
Licht and BA Complete and utter BUFFOONs! Gave away a 4th round pick to 49ers for NO REASON when they traded 14 for 13! 49ers were not interested in Wirfs (or any OT). Biggest Bonehead move of the draft!! Lynch was literally laughing at the Bucs gifting hin a 4th round pick.

@The RightStuff better safe than sorry. And you can’t just think of the niners, I’m sure there were other teams looking into it

@spilleddrink1
The 49ers would not have agreed to trade further back and risk losing Kinlaw… they knew the Bucs were taking Wirfs and they had no interest in an OT…. 49ers would have straight up taken Wirfs at 13… gifted away a 4th round pick

A round of applause?

@The RightStuff your the dumb one for not thinking that another team would have traded with the niners and steal wirfs from us

Luke Torres people just don’t understand

@The RightStuff Apparently you’re a bit clueless as to how the draft works. The talk is that Atl and Den were looking to get Wirfs. Tampa had to trade up and be give more than what they wanted to get the pick from SF.
