Glad Lynch didn't trade two 1's for a DT. I will give him that. That was a stupid move by Poles.

Lynch needs to go get two more pieces for our run. Preferably an Edge and WR.

Literally no one is thinking that.

Agreed I do feel like a lot of us do feel like our high picks have mostly been wasted though. I think that's why a lot of people are willing to throw away rounds 1-3 because historically we have absolutely sucked at drafting in those rounds anyway.

Hence, the why not just throw away two firsts for Wilson. Most likely they will waste those picks anyway...

The scouts hit best in the late rounds while we whiff hard at the start of the draft.

We got a great player at a great price. Happy with this add.

What would Thomas Jr cost us realistically?

I kinda like him as a fit to play the former Aiyuk role. Helps us now and in the future so it's a solid option IMO.

Think he will bring something different for us and ensure other guys end up being left open.

I think a 2nd rounder

Thanks man.

I would go for it. I think he is the right answer for now and the future, pairing him with Strib (and long shot but maybe Ricky) as Deebo and Mike getting older?

Brian Thomas Jr would be a bad fit here, he's a sloppy route runner which is a huge negative in Kyle's system.

He would be better than anyone we have on the field , excluding Evans.

-Trade w/Dolphins for WR-Malik Washington/DE-Chop Robinson
-Trade w/Browns for DE-Jared Verse/WR-Jerry…

Here's a better source for potential trades we might do than old out-of-touch Maiocco.

Larry is unrealistic.He's more for entertainment than anything else.

Yeah, not always smart to ignore dad's advice because the drunk uncle suggested something more fun.

seems rosey to forecast him to nearly double his goodness; if he's 8 sacks a year, i'd pencil him in for 8 sacks a year

Depends. A lot of guys need a second guy on the other side who is decent to free them up from doubles sometimes to really hit their potential.

Either way 8 still better than anyone on the roster as is. Bosas either going to take a pay cut or walk which frees up a ton of cash.

You have to pay at the trade deadline if you want talent. Plus look at when they drafted drake. They would have thought it was a good deal now if he was getting 8 sacks a year and had to pay him...

i am not a capologist, but that's only a one year thing, wouldn't they save a ton over the entire life of the deal?

In theory, they would save money over the life of the deal. But what you're asking them to do in practice is pay him to play for the 49ers and take the hit on their books.

They're not looking to dump his contract. That's when you see bargain level trade packages.

I am generally not a fan of trading away draft picks for any reason. Even if those trades do eventually sometimes benefit the team who traded for any player in question. I'm more of a fan of shrewd drafting moves with late round picks. Case in point? Gracen Halton. A fourth round pick. A game changer. The 49ers found a kid who shut down an opponent's running game, sacked the opponent's QB, caused fumbles, recovered fumbles for TD's and generally caused havoc in just the first six games. Not only is Halton a STEAL, he's on a rookie salary. He's also healthy. So, I would rather use late round picks to find gems like Halton, or Brock Purdy. That is my train of thought. I'm not a fan of the Buckner trade, though it may benefit the 49ers this season. I'm certainly not a fan of trading away first round draft picks for any player, even if that player carries the name of GOD.

lets not get carried over, halton had some good games but his career is just starting and he is not a top rookie. he is (so far) a decent player, not more than this.

many teams have shown in the past that aggressive trades can get you the most important wins. i dont think its just one way, its a combination of both

Only get a 3rd if they themselves dont also sign the same number or more of qualifying free agents.
