How many 2nd round QB's are not "projects". If they were projected not to be projects, then they would be 1st round picks.

49ers made a solid pick, anyone know what they gave up to move ahead by 10 spots?
They swapped 2nd round picks and they gave up a 4th and 5th rounders.
I'm surprised they gave up so much to get this guy. Seems desperate. Scouting reports say he is very raw and a development project. Now, maybe in the hands of Harbaugh that will pay big dividends a couple years down the line, but that seems like an awfully steep price. All we needed, IMO, is an accurate passer who can distribute the ball. This guy is one of those runner/passer hybrids.
He is an accurate passer with very good arm strength. The only guy with a higher ceiling than Kaepernick at QB was Cam Newton, but Newton also has more bust potential. I am very happy with this pick and giving up a 4th and 5th isn't too much to pay for a potential franchise QB. If he wasn't a QB, I might question the trade-up, but this was obviously a huge need and, like I said, I'm almost positive Arizona was going to take him with the next pick.
Well, I hope you're right about that, but the ESPN breakdown is not as glowing. Strong leadership, strong arm, yes. But his accuracy is ranked average and he is ranked below average in intelligence/decision making, citing that he comes from the Pistol offense in the WAC that has very simplistic reads.

A fourth and a fifth? Really? U mad about that?
Yes because it was only to move up 9 spots.
Chill out. At least they didn't ask us for our 3rd.

Two freakishly athletic raw prospects with huge upside. Although risky picks, huge boom/bust potential. Excited to see both of these prospects develop over the next few years.

4 + 5 = 9 it is simple math.
