John Lynch - 49ers GM

Is this too greedy? Give me A'Shawn Robinson as a true run-plugging DT (Bucs are 2-5, although Baker is back) and an impact pass rusher, Khalil Mack or the big DE Carl Granderson (5 1/2 sacks so far; Saints are 2-5 but probably small chance they'd part w/ him). Then, trade for a decent return guy and call it a trade deadline (they should have brought back Skyy Moore).

Trying to add a LG like Nelson on the Colts is probably too much of a long shot - and, would the Colts even consider moving an OL talent like him? But damn, could you imagine Nelson and Trent plowing run lanes on the left side of the line?

When Bosa ended the Seattle game last yr lol

This. When Bosa isn't injured and plays, this is just a different, excellent defense.

Even when Bosa isn't getting home, he disrupts the game in other ways and takes away some of the opposing team's offensive game planning - in both the running & passing game.

We should be getting 8 guys back after the bye. The ripple effect will be huge. Special teams will improve. The WR group should be deeper. Dline added depth.

Then imagine if we add a good starter or two via trade.

Nick Bosa
Mike Evans
Deebo Samue
Demarcus Robinson
Luke Gifford
Marques Sigle
Garret Wallow
C.J. West

*Two guys will have to come off the 53 for Robinson and West. Probably Cooks and Kareem.

He had no sacks, one tackle for loss and 3 total tackles this year before he went down again. Hardly incredible. Certainly not worth what he's getting paid. He's better than what we have now but my point is he's not an elite difference maker anymore. Just too many injuries. Plus you can't count on him to stay healthy. People are talking about him returning and being the guy that was DPOY in 2022. He's not playing like that anymore.

Nah he was playing real well….we would have won yesterday if Bosa plays. He consistently f**ks up plays which imo matters more than a a random sack.

I just don't know how healthy he will be ROS.

Your definition of real well is different from mine I guess. He's been good in spots but not the big disrupter you need from that position. The problem I have with just gettring pressure is too many QBs now are able to get away from pressure and make big plays. Purdy actually makes some of his biggest plays when he gets pressured and is forced out of the pocket. Defenses sometmes lose coverage when they see a QB scramble. Sacks are always better than pressures.

He looked awesome week 1 and he is absolutely still a major disruptor

Catch is simply ignoring facts and film

no doubt we are a different defense when Bosa is playing

Assuming everyone stays healthy from now on (Massive assumption) the biggest upgrade could be had at LG. I would bring Nelson in with an extension. I like the idea of Mack as well.

Loving the idea of adding Robinson and Mack. I wouldn't hate using our first to get a pro bowler like Q. Nelson or Garrett Wilson. Wilson probably would require more than a 1st.

My new trade proposal:

2nd, 3rd and 4th to the Colts for Nelson, Buckner and Downs.

Just Nelson, but that's a long shot

Nelson isn't going to sign an extension when he can get huge money on the open market. Especially when he hasn't even played at a place.

If somehow the 9ers acquire him it's for 2026. They just aren't gonna make him the highest paid guard in NFL.

So we'd get a 3rd rounder back for him?

So not too greedy?

Would do this, but how about the 4th being the following year in 2028 to soften the blow a little to 2027's draft capital?

Could you imagine this team adding such talent to its roster of Nelson, Buckner & Downs?

And they would hang up the phone if they could stop laughing hysterically.

Have to wonder how much time Lynch has left as GM.

Things started off on a bad foot in 2017 when they drafted a bust instead of Mahomes (or even Watson). I don't think it's out of line to say the 49ers have at least two SB wins now had they drafted Mahomes.

Lynch's drafts should be compared with what Seattle and the Rams have produced. And it's not even close; 49ers are way behind on that front.

What are they expecting? They're all expiring contracts.

Joe Thuney is arguably better than Nelson and got traded for a 4th with no contract at all.

That is objectively an excellent haul for the Colts for three expiring contracts, none of which play a top 3 position in terms of importance.
