I got no problem giving up premium picks for young studs that are part of the picture. I'm not trading a 2nd for say Trey Hendrickson.

Again, it's the wrong way round. I don't know who is available, I haven't got a bug on Lynch's phone. But no draft picks should be off limits in case someone is.

Or multiple Joe Williamses, Cameron Lattes (sic), Kentwan Balmers (or is "Kentwans Balmer" like "passers by"?), Mike Rumphs and (for that extra retro buzz) Kwames Harrisses

He had a bone chip which was repaired. IR means you miss a minimum of 4 games. But not necessarily the whole season. Unlike Alfred Collins I believe CJ West can and is supposed to come back this season. So when is he coming back? Is he coming back? Do we expect him fully healthy?

He didn't so far live up to the draft status. But he is quick and explosive. Built low to the ground with low center of gravity. We need another healthy at least athletic guy out there at DT. He can be that for us and we need him big time now. At least in the rotation for some reps and he needs to live up to what he can be too. It's super vital. He can soften this for us a little. But this one still really hurts. Gracen Halton was looking absolutely special out there as a young talent.

I thought he played well last year under Saleh's schemes (wide 9) when they hired Raheem with his more movement oriented multi-front scheme he seemed a bit lost. It could have been that bone chip issue though. Hopefully he's had the mental reps while rehabbing to be a much better DLineman when he comes back. I think he can be another Osa or Halton if he gets a bit quicker and more explosive.

He is pretty quick and explosive. So not as much as Halton per the testing. But pretty good in his own right for his size. His 40 time was really good for a big guy. Halton's was outstanding and you see the explosion and quickness with him. CJ is built low to the ground. Not the biggest body. At least on length. But he is athletic and that helps. Let's hope he takes a step forward. We need him sooner rather than later.

But IF the elite player is available, THEN the nickel and diming "I would pay an X rounder but not an X + Y rounder" posts are even more pointless.

Are these perceptions wrong??

Yes. You are way off the mark. You want just one example? OK. I will give you one. Go to the game recap article written and posted by Kirk Larrabee here. Look very closely at the scoring highlight where Cousins throws a pick to Jaden Dugger, which is returned for a TD. The first thing you should notice is Cousins fumbling the ball. Which he did. Then he picked it up. The next thing Cousins saw was NICK BOSA about to level his butt because he had beaten his block and had a clear shot at Kirk's head. A second later and Kirk would have been sacked. Instead, Kirk throws the ball up. Dugger finds it. Touchdown 49ers.

You missed Bosa's impact on making that play. He was a HUGE part of it. It was not the only example either. Bosa beat his man on a couple of other plays and would have sacked Cousins had Kirk not tossed the ball away. Bosa was far more impactful than you know.

Right, but some of you seem to be implying that if we trade our high picks away now, it guarantees that we will win # 6 this year. To state the obvious.....it does not, so if we trade our high picks for 27 and 28, stack the team, and don't win the SB this year (and can't afford the players we traded for for cap reasons ), then believe me, you will care about the draft picks we traded away.

I'd be right there with you if we were positive that we'd win the SB this year, but we could make the trades and still fall flat. That's reality.

I'm all for trading for the right fit, but no way am I mortgaging the future for an " all in this year or bust ". Just to risky.

if you always need 100% clarity in life you cant be a fan of the draft anyways.
Having a team that currently ranks easily in the top3 of the league and add proven players to run the table to me is much more predictable than draft lottery, thinking of lynches draft record in the first rounds.

Its all about maximizing your chances.
To me it is this team + additions.
To you it seems it is holding on draft picks noone knows if they turn out + potentially losing lots of our stars to age.

Nope.....drafting is not 100% clarity ( hits and misses ), and trading our high picks is not either ( could do that and still not get $ 6 ). Both of these options carry risk, so your 100% clarity statement is an odd position to take.

I believe we can still win the SB and not mortgage our future. This team and additions are fine, just not additions that we can't afford beyond this year, and not picks that involve trading all of our high picks.

I WANT # 6 too, but I also don't want several years of watching a crappy team. We have older players, we need draft picks to try and replace them in the next few years. We need our picks to do that.

He is expected to return late November to early December timeline. So yes, he will be back and it was not a season ending injury.

Yeah we need him back now. Got to get him back in there and he has to play well. At least it helps a little to have him coming back. He is a good athlete. So hopefully he can live up to that potential.

They just traded for two 30 yr old players…one that plays one of the least impactful positions in football and a 2 down run defender…WTF are ya'll jealous about?

Or are you fine with "being in the mix" again and running short?

What future did us even the trade for Lance cost?

I mean that Lance trade could have very well cost us a SB all the same…could have had multiple young studs on that 2023 roster

There's even more! McKivitz 82.2 rating. He went against Crosby. That makes him pretty good wouldn't you say? Anderson in Houston might disagree but we're pretty well set at RT for 3 more years-fairly cheap. Hopefully he doesn't do a Jennings/Deebo on us.

The most encouraging sign is Colby had an 82.7 grade from pff. The highest among offensive linemen. Needed that after a couple of rough games in a row for him.

He'll probably be up and down all season. Hopefully we consistency out of him next year and going forward.

Biggest issue is the defense lack of pass rush. They don't have a dog on the d line that can consistently win 1 v 1.

Osa had his biggest impact so far this season. Maybe adding Buckner shift OL focus and now Osa can be what we traded for - pass rush impact.

Nobody cares about the draft in 27 if you get Lombardi #6.
Its not like you trade 3 firsts for an unproven QB. You could get 2 proven Quality Players for a first and a second and work magic with the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th. We have good youth coming already from the last 2 years

So who's the reasonable player (that's on the trade block) that will cost all these premium picks that makes this an "all in" f**k them picks scenario?

More than 11 trades just tomorrow? Or overall? There already been like 7+ that I can think of off the top of my head. So a few more isn't a wild guess.

if he means 11+ tomorrow? That's wild
