There goes the OT dream. I really think we tried to get the pick from SF, but they wanted Lamb or Jeudy and preferred to deal with Tampa.
We have to be the huge favorite to trade for Williams now.

The redskins lost so much leverage with Wills going to Cleveland. That could put us in the williams hunt again

If Broncos like Jeurdy as reported and draft him then Vikings needs to trade up to #16 with Falcons to get Lamb

At this rate, with all the top OT's gone, and the top WR's about to go it seems like we're going to have some pretty good Defensive players drop to us. Gonna be interesting to see what we do.

We probably tried, but since San Fran wanted one of Jeudy or Lamb they weren't going to trade back to us and now San Fran and Denver won't trade back to us either. They will draft Jeudy and Lamb.

If we could somehow come away from this draft with Jeudy/Lamb, Trent Williams and a good CB I would be ecstatic!!!

All SF got for the trade was a 4th round pick.
Bucs traded up with the 49ers to select Iowa RT Tristan Wirfs with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Bucs moved up one spot, sending the Nos. 14 and 117 picks for 13 and 245. The first true freshman to start at tackle in coach Kirk Ferentz’s 20-year Iowa tenure, Wirfs' (6’5/320) salivating strength (450-lb power clean) and ceiling stem from his background as a renowned wrestler and two-time state champion shot putter at Mount Vernon High. While the 21-year-old did log a majority of his snaps at the collegiate level at right tackle, his skillset is considered interchangeable. Wirfs took home the Rimington-Pace award for Big 10's Offensive Lineman of the Year as a true junior, permitting respectable marks in sacks (2) and quarterback hits (5) in his final two seasons due in part to his strong foundation and quick feet. He was rarely caught off-balance in pass-pro, standing tall and doling body blows with power rushers all the while showcasing the slide to cope with EDGE bodies rounding from the outside. A disciplined mauler who compiled just three penalties in his final year with the Hawkeyes, Wirfs will protect Tom Brady from the right tackle spot opposite LT Donovan Smith.
