NFC West Rumors: 49ers, Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams

49ers

49ers GM John Lynch said heโ€™d be open to trading down in the first round. 

โ€œIf something came to us that was too good to be true โ€ฆ (there are) players weโ€™d be comfortable taking in the middle of the round, like at 10,โ€ Lynch said via Cam Inman. โ€œWeโ€™ve done our due diligence.โ€

  • Lynch also said he hopes OT Joe Staley remains with the 49ers until he retires: โ€œMy hope is he plays for one organization.โ€ (Eric Branch)
  • While K Robbie Gould has yet to sign the franchise tag and is working on his own in Chicago, Lynch says heโ€™s still in the teamโ€™s plans: โ€œRobbieโ€™s going to be a part of us this coming year. I know that. Weโ€™d like it longer than that. We havenโ€™t come to an agreement of yet.โ€ (Inman)
  • Lynch mentioned the 49ers havenโ€™t yet received any offers โ€œof substanceโ€ for the No. 2 overall pick. (Inman)

Cardinals

  • According to Ian Rapoport, Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, HC Kliff Kingsbury and GM Steve Keim will have a final meeting to discuss the No. 1 overall pick. 
  • Rapoport adds the Cardinals have received feeler calls about teams wanting to trade up as well. 
  • Chris Mortensen says to expect the Cardinals to be patients with QB Josh Rosen if they take Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray, as theyโ€™ll try to recoup as much value as possible. 
  • Peter King hears that Nick Bosa is the โ€œchoice of manyโ€ inside the Cardinalsโ€™ organization and view him as a โ€œgenerational player.โ€ However, he would still be surprised if they didnโ€™t select Kyler Murray at No. 1 overall.
  • According to Todd McShay, a handful of people are starting to question whether Murray is still the No. 1 pick, including a general manager he spoke to in recent days. However, McShay is sticking with Murray to Arizona to open the draft. 

Rams

  • Jason La Canfora wonders if the Rams could be a potential trade option for Seahawks DE Frank Clark
  • Matt Barrows believes the Rams could be targeting Maryland S Darnell Savage with the No. 31 overall pick.

Seahawks
