This team.

The other thing you aren't factoring in is how the UDFA process works.

The 49ers had the final pick. The negotiations with likely UDFAs happens in rounds 6/7 - it doesn't just start after the last pick.

So the 49ers would have already commenced UDFA negotiations with their key targets before their 7th round pick.

West went to a school the 49ers are very close to (Arizona State - Herm Edwards) and so it could very well be the 49ers knew they would be able to get West as a UDFA but potentially they wouldn't be able to get Purdy unless they drafted him. Bear in mind the 49ers had the final pick so when the 49ers are on the clock there is no way another team could draft West - they would only be able to get him as an UDFA.

I see him as a potential future cheap backup QB ala Nick Mullens.

That's how I see Purdy, as a cheap backup QB for the 49ers, how many final picks in the draft actually make the 53-man roster? They usually end up on the practice squad.

Agree, from a cap situation, if he makes the team, it will definitely help our cap's bottom line. My optimistic hope is that we can trade him later for draft picks a la Elvis Grbac/Steve Bono.

I really wish we never gave Sudfeld $2M fully GTD, now if Purdy outplays him, does Kyle/John trade Sudfeld for a pick, save $2M in cap room? idk.

Do you remember if we did this prior to learning about Jimmy's surgery?

Prior to Jimmy's surgery, from my understanding, they, I think, assumed Jimmy would be traded.

It was prior to the surgery and they assumed correctly until Jimmy dropped the bomb on them. We lost at least a third rounder

I was thinking the same thing.

He seems like he would be a natural fit at center

I think he's too short to be effective at center.

Why do you have to be tall to play center?

As a former RB, pass pro is a will type of skill. Everyone doesn't want to stick their face on the fire!

Jordan Mason deliver a shot to the blitzer! Watch the defender's head snap back, whiplash activated!! Protect your QB young fella!

Pick 19.07: Jordan Mason (@jpmason27), RB, GATECH

Mason, with a massive frame of 6'1", 219lbs, is a punishing runner. Don't get in his way. His numbers suffered at times when teams realized he was the entire O, but the addition of freshman Jeff Sims at QB should help that. pic.twitter.com/WZ1ng4TnJB

Have a weird feeling that Mason could very well be the next UDFA RB success story. Great match between skillset and scheme.
