Robinson said the time with Bosa, Buckner, Tunsil and Ramsey will help if one starts to slip. They've spent, by far the most time with Bosa and he's the one slipping in most mocks. I think dating back to the combine, signs have pointed to Bosa imo. 

Let's hope not. I hope Buckner slips.

JRob may have slipped up when he said "we're really exited about making 5 picks on Friday". Leads me to believe they are leaning 'no trade up' or maybe would only use next year's draft capital to trade up. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Watching Robinson now versus his 1st presser, it looks like he really was just overly emotional about getting the job. He's clearly very comfortable in front of the camera now.

Really saying a whole lot of nothing overall, but did seem to show some interest in Miller.

He's one of the few prospects projected outside of the first round that could have the most impact on a team in year 2+

Like with Ramsey, it's a lot of projection, but what he has going for him right out of the gate is his ability to return kick/punts.  It really would be a pretty good situation for us this year as our receivers are "just ok" enough to get by with and most of the ones coming out in the draft are rather lackluster, at least in comparison to previous years.  Next year is when our need for wideouts really kick in, and it's pretty easy to project Miller as a much better wideout next season than it is this year.  Really a perfect situation for both the player/team.

The more I think about it, I wouldn't be upset if they used one of our 2nds on the guy, though I think a 3rd would be much more ideal.  If nothing else, he provides a good emergency QB option (kidding). 

One final note on Miller (without derailing the thread too much):  As a former QB, you have to like his chances of developing at a faster learning curve than a lot of other projects.  In addition, the fact that he pretty selflessly switched positions when Ohio State needed him to says a lot about his attitudes towards a team first mentality - which is something our FO has been hammering home the last few months.

I've thought for awhile he would be a great pick, especially since we've loaded up in the 2nd/3rd round.  Not sure I'd be comfortable throwing a 2nd at him, but he'd ideally immediately solve our KR/PR problems and could be depth at wideout this season without being forced into a starting role until he's a bit more developed.  Next year, when Wright and Hunter are both potentially gone, he would come in, hopefully, a lot more polished and could take a fulltime starting job.  

But yeah, I've always like Miller.  He's a very dynamic player who immediately makes our STs better and could be a big contributor at wideout down the road.  

I would love it, honestly. I can't believe how fast he is, plus he has natural hands for a WR. He'd obviously have to learn all about routes and the nuances of the position, but he could contribute right away on special teams and as a gadget-type player. Should also be able to run a deep out for us every now and then.

I've viewed him as this year's less-polished, higher upside Tyler Lockett for awhile, which is the type of player this team has needed for years IMO.

I've thought Mularkey would love Braxton Miller since the senior bowl. If he is there in the second I think they take him. They might even take him at 33.

The meltdowns here would be epic if we took him at 33. In my mock, I had us taking him with our final 2nd round pick. I honestly don't think he drops to the 3rd.

Makes more sense to take him at 43 or 45. I don't really see a bunch of teams valuing him at the top of the round.

He definitely has talent, but I dunno. We always seem to fail with these types of guys. Another athlete you have to coach up. I'd rather get a more polished WR like Sheppard

Made a joke about keeping the "currency" acquired.  Said he'd like to keep "all of it."

i'd rather pick 6 good players in the first 76 players and not be down to 3 or 4 picks due to trading up. I think if JRob trades up it will be in the first round jumping from #15 to between #5 and #10 but i wouldn't do it except maybe for Ramsey that would be it. I like Conklin a lot i hope he is at #15.
