Trading up for Amarius Mims would be the ideal move for the 49ers. Shockingly easy movement skills at 340 lbs. Mims was made for blocking out in space in a wide zone. Instant upgrade on the right side and potential heir to Trent Williams.
ARI moving out of range for MHJ and settling for BTJ as Kyler Murray's new WR1 and a boom-or-bust 3T feels icky. I think the Cardinals will ultimately stay put, and J.J. McCarthy will come off the board in the 9 to 12 range.
Agree on Nix and Penix. Not 1st-rounders. Nix especially.
I think MIN would need to give ARI a king's ransom in a straight trade that moves the Cardinals out of position for MHJ (and possibly Nabers/Odunze). Three 1st RD picks MINIMUM or maybe even a deal involving Justin Jefferson.
It would make more sense for ARI if MIN could incrementally trade up to 1.04 -- something similar to the 2016 PHI/Wentz move -- acquiring 1.05 from LAC to ensure ARI gets Harrison. But we're approaching a week to Day One and there hasn't been a whisper of any movement that points toward such a scenario. I'm beginning to wonder if MIN's plan is to take Byron Murphy II at 1.11 then Penix at 1.23 (or in a small move up/down from 1.23). Penix would be a reach in the 1st RD, but if he's going to hit in the NFL, MIN would be the ideal environment for him to do so.
