Do the 49ers trade for players, sign cost efficient players, or draft players?
DE
Maxx Crosby trade
Jonathan Greenard trade
Thib trade
Bosa sign
WR
Brian Thomas Jr trade
Christian Kirk sign
Draft any of many players
WR should be a budget signing or draft pick
DE will very likely be where they try to get a superstar player. Personally, I would prefer anyone but bosa.
Supposed calls from the Steelers inquiring about Mac Jones have been made. Trade him for a draft pick or 2 before he walks next year and they get nothing in return. What would be acceptable in a trade of Mac Jones?
On mock sim site said PIT's #85 + #121 + 2027 7th is equal value to Mac Jones. So basically a mid 3rd and mid 4th round pick + a 7th next year.
I'd do that trade to get value for Jones. Really good players at #85 and #121 and both those picks give us flexibility to move around in the draft and go get a player we covet.
Trade for a pick in the 150s and draft Sawyer Robinson to compete with Rourke for QB2 if they aren't sold on Rourke. But I think they like Rourke a lot but apparently not enough to move on from Mac without "astronomical" draft compensation.
However, if Purdy goes down injured and Mac comes in all Niner fans will still feel hopeful that we can contend for a SB. That's not nothing and has value.
