Alliance... » And indeed they did Appearing on KNBR

As the 2018 season ended E. J. Manuel Jersey , some believed that the 49ers would make a run at Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (via Matt Barrows of TheAthletic.com), 49ers G.M. John Lynch confirmed that the Giants wanted the second overall pick in the draft, and that the 49ers refused to part with it.“I think, ironically, the fact that we had the No. 2 pick made it more difficult because they wanted that badly,” Lynch said. “They wanted two No. 1s. And we weren’t willing to part with that. It was too valuable of a pick.”Lynch’s comments are interesting, and they may not be fully appreciated by the Browns. Given that Beckham didn’t launch a power play to get to Cleveland, he could eventually decide to dictate terms like former Steelers receiver Antonio Brown did, and Beckham now knows that the powers-that-be in San Francisco are interested.The Raiders will have no similar concerns about Brown, who they acquired from Pittsburgh. Even though Antonio Brown apparently wanted to play for the 49ers, the 49ers didn’t want Brown.“We took a quick look and then we just said, ‘Hey, we’re not interested in that for our team,'” Lynch said. “That’s where we are. I think we feel pretty good about our receiving corps. I know a lot of people don’t share our sentiments.”People don’t share their sentiments in part because they tried to get Beckham. If Brown becomes a star on the other side of the Bay, those who don’t share their sentiments will grow in number and volume.

Pro Football Focus had theirs today and from what I can see Marquel Lee Jersey , the Raiders would come out with a pretty nice looking group of players should the draft fall the way Steve Palaszolo is predicting.First up, he is sticking with the top three of Kyler Murray to Arizona, Nick Bosa to San Francisco, and Josh Allen to the Jets. That’s been the most common top three in most mocks until recently when rumors have the Cardinals sticking with Josh Rosen and looking elsewhere with their top pick. This includes the LA Times live beat writer mock that had them taking Quinnen Williams number one overall. But in this mock draft...4. OAKLAND RAIDERS: DI QUINNEN WILLIAMS, ALABAMANotes: So, by some analysts’ estimates, the Raiders would be getting the best player in this draft at fourth overall. Even though it is not a position of need, it’s hard to argue getting the best player available.24. OAKLAND RAIDERS: WR MARQUISE BROWN, OKLAHOMANotes: Marquise Brown is arguably the best receiver in this draft (though they have him as the third WR taken behind AJ Brown and DK Metcalf). He also happens to be perfect for what the Raiders need being that he can play the slot for now and potentially move outside as a deep threat in future.27. OAKLAND RAIDERS: EDGE CLELIN FERRELL, CLEMSONNotes: Are you kidding me? Getting Ferrell at this point looks like a steal. Almost seems entirely unrealistic, but I guess you just never really know. PFF has long been very high on Michigan’s Chase Winovich who they have going at 22 to the Ravens. That’s where many seem to have Ferrell coming off the board.35. OAKLAND RAIDERS: CB AMANI ORUWARIYE, PENN STATENotes: Notable layers still on the board in this mock who the Raiders pass on to draft Oruwariye include ED Montez Sweat, TE Noah Fant, S Taylor Rapp, G Chris Lindstrom, RB Josh Jacobs, and TE Irv Smith Jr. Follow @LeviDamien
