@Smitty93 It's not that I think BB sucks. I give him plenty of credit for being a tremendous coach, I really do. I just happen to believe that while he's a great coach, he's a mediocre GM at best and his failures as the GM have impacted this team in a very negative way with regards to the skill positions.

it would look bad if they spend to get Jimmy and he gets injured again. Bill has to move on imo.

Its easy to see why he would think you hate BB when you call him medicore at best as a GM.
I mean he's only rebuilt and overhauled the roster once each decade and won 3 SBs each time

Thank you for making my point. Last I recall BB drafted and developed him

I think Chris Simms is right. The Niners are going up for Mac Jones. I believe he is their pick at 3 and Jimmy G is back here.

Makes sense, Mac Jones has drawn some Kirk Cousins comps and Shanahan loves him some Kirk Cousins

Three first round picks so you can take Mac Jones at #3 overall should get you fired.

If you think he’s the guy to take you to the promise land multiple times the price is well worth it. But if it fails Lynch should be fired

Simms is close friends with Shanahan, so it's possible he knows something the rest of us don't. I also know he's super high on Jones, so he could be projecting here.
I just can't imagine trading that much to go draft Jones. The ceiling's nowhere high enough to justify trading your next two 1sts to move up for him, and I have trouble believing they'd be concerned that he'd be off the board if they didn't trade up to #3.
I think it's a good deal for both sides. The 49ers are a team with a lot of talent and if they can find that franchise QB they're set and gives them a 4 year window where having a cheap qb allows them to go all in everywhere else, i think there's better options than Jones but if Shanahan thinks he's the guy then he deserves that trust. I think this is the best qb draft class in a while and if i was Bill i would be calling Atlanta and making a similar offer for #4, because i don't see the main 5 qb's that are talked about being on the board after 9
Must be looking at someone else. NY is taking him at 2. Worst kept secret in nfl history.

with all those QBs going early. Pats have a great chance to get a great player at a skill of defensive position at 15. Im not wasting assets on any of those QBs.
Historically, chris simms has been a qb savant over the last 5 or 6 drafts. It's insane.

Pretty sure this is a big reason they're closely scouting him. Belichick has a history of trying to get as much info on QB prospects he's going to have to face.

I don't think we get Chase/Smith/Waddle.
Skill position players are at such a premium. 1-2 more losses could have really helped us because all 4 are no brainers if we can get them.
I'd go Rondale Moore from Purdue reluctantly but the other WRs pass. Bateman isn't dynamic too risky.
The play would be to trade down but roster spots are going to be hard to come by for our draft class after all the UFAs.
