Ok...I'm not getting it. I have questions.
Trading 3 1sts for a higher 1st to draft a QB who isn't going to play this upcoming year?
...AND they don't know who it's going to be, but they like their options?
Was this an overpay? Are ShannyLynch absolutely THAT enamored with our prospects at #3?

I'm probably going to get thrown under a bus but I have a different opinion of this move. The 49ers will not be drafting a QB 3rd overall. The Houston Texans will. In my opinion the 49ers moved to #3 to put together the best package for Watson.
This is a gut feeling. I could be completely off base. The way this roster is built to win now. Seems too risky to draft a rookie.
I think Jimmy is either flipped to NE for a 3rd or included in Watson deal.
Oh for f**k's sake, nobody is trading for Watson when he has dozens of sexual assault allegations that he's dealing with right now. You think any team wants to give up a ton of compensation for a guy that might be suspended all of next season?

I think the debate is between Justin Fields and Mac Jones with Mac having a slight edge in 49ers mind. I don't see Shanahan taking a chance on a FCS guy.
Not it's not.
it's Lance or Fields.
49ers-Dolphins...Kyle Shanahan trying to control his own fate. You trade up to 3 for a QB who is NFL-ready right now, not a project. And to me that says Mac Jones.

2 firsts but whose counting?
No. It is 3 first even if you're swapping firsts it still counts as a first
Basic math. If you give up 3 and gain 1 the net is 2.
why do you have to explain this?god damn our education system sucks
3 firsts plus a 3rd for a rookie qb. Why is that not right? Let's say miami drafted trey lance at #3. The 49ers give up #12 2021, 2022 1st and 2023 1st and 2021 for trey lance. That's three firsts and a third for trey lance. Why is that hard to understand.
Lol. The extra wording isn't going to make you right. It's 2 firsts homie
Tell me how I'm wrong.
2021 1st
2021 3rd

Mac Jones
That is 3 firsts and a 3rd for Mac jones. If it's mac jones.
Bro! We gave up 3 total 1sts. We received 1 first. 3-1=2.
Please stop. You're making yourself look bad

Just a generic observation, but sometimes the best draft picks are just taking advantage of great talents available that other teams for whatever reason passed on. E.g, Frank Gore in the 3rd round, Nick Bosa at the #2 pick when AZ went Kyler Murray. This move feels like a reach. How many big, athletic Ohio State QBs are going to wash out at the NFL? And Lance seems eerily like Kaepernick, who was great for about a season and a half before they had the book on him. Mac Jones isn't gifted enough to justify all of the draft capital. Where are they going with this? Zach Wilson looks good, but somebody's going to nab him at 2. Seems like a bold move without a definite plan. Why would the Jets reveal their intentions to the Niners even if Saleh is a good and loyal friend? I think I'm just being too negative today. Don't mind me. Go Niners!
Once again, terrible logic. How many Oregon QBs flopped in the NFL before Herbert came in and tore it up as a rookie last year? Imagine if San Diego had chosen to pass on him all because of what happened with Mariota, Joey Harrington and Akili Smith? How many Air Raid QBs flopped before Mahomes?
The previous Ohio State QBs have exactly jack squat to do with Fields.

A 2022 and 2023 1st = 2 first rounders lost
A 2022 3rd Comp pick.
3 total picks, 2 first rounders

I love how DJ keeps throwing out Mac Jones for the simple fact that he's already had his pro day...like a pro day is the deciding factor on giving up multiple first round picks. Stop it.
also SF has been trying to move up for weeks! These pro days don't mean much

You're wrong. It's a swap of 2021 first rounders, plus a 2022 1st rounder and a 2023 1st rounder. The 3rd rounder is the 2022 compensatory pick they got for losing Mayhew. That's like a 4th rounder. At least that's the story I read.
Sure. You lost 2 1st, but you traded 3 1sts. Look at how the original post was stated, the poster said we "We just traded three 1sts" and that is factually correct. Not worth correcting because you decided to state it as we are netting -2 1sts. Look at how all the major sports articles are saying it.

They say it that way because it makes it look like even more of a blockbuster trade than it already is. Those of us who are smart and know math understand what it really is. So posters can cry that we gave up 3 firsts but in actuality, reality whatever you want to call it.... it's 2 firsts!
