No way. Ignoring the fact that Donald only has 2 more years left on his rookie deal, the #2 is too valuable. Mitch or Myles are guys who can turn your entire franchise around.

Still wouldn't do it. As I pointed out: Donald's rookie deal has 2 more years. You get the #2 pick for 5 years.

Not a guarantee they pan out to Donald's status. And Trumaine would give us a day one CB.

I like the Niners' CBs, though. I like them a lot (think Redmond was a steal).

It's true that trading for Donald would be safer than drafting a QB (I think Myles is a pretty safe pick, though). But safe picks aren't gonna get the Niners from the toilet to SB contention. You've gotta take some risks. And Myles & Mitch both pose a much higher reward, potentially.

wtf?

Hell yes you do it. #2 has a lot of value but it's still an unknown player you're drafting and there are no guarantees.

If you can get two elite players at positions of need that you know can not only play in the NFL but at a high level you damn well do it...especially when we still have a ton of cap space.

How is this even a question?

if we are planning on staying at #2 aand making a selection then HELL yes you do it for the reasons genus said.

If we are planning on trading down.... then depends on whats on the table.

On the suface: TJ and AD is millions miles better than Brooks and anyone at #2 including MG

Dumb question considering its a divisional rival but to answer the question HELL YES!!!

I don't care if Donald has 1 year left on his rookie deal. Sign him to an extension and give him the money he needs. At the very least you can franshise tag him and get him for 3 years.

Getting an All Pro dt and a good CB >>> the #2 pick with a decent chance to bust
