Trade: [SF/CAR] Christian McCaffrey for 2023 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks and 2024 5th round pick

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Will any of those picks amount to a player as good as CMC?

How long before CMC is injured?

Trades a wash. Nobody wins unless they’re planning on working egg cartons into CMC’s uniform.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Its a lot to risk for someone who is injured as often as Run CMC is. BUT, if he somehow manages to stay healthy the 49ers could go quite far into the post season.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The 49ers don't have a top 100 pick next year.

 

[Tuggy]

49ers moving all in.

Don't blame them. Windows are so small in the NFL that you need to try and capitalize.

 

[eXile3]

Helps the Panthers tank, & restock on some picks. You can’t win building around a RB no matter how good he is. Good move by them.

 

[417]

The fun Kyle Shannahan is going to have in 21 personnel with

McCaffrey
Juszczyk
Kittle
Samuel
Aiyuk

Any of these guys can line up anywhere on the field.

Good luck to defenses identifying who the ball is going too.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

49ers are cursed with injuries hopefully it doesn't cause CMC to get injured again lol.

This offense has a ridiculous amount of talent though, and with Shanahan calling plays they should be explosive. Will be fun to watch.

 

[Voight]

Kind of wish the Rams went for him, theres something about him playing in LA that just seems so natural.

Only problem is the distributor is less than reliable.

 

[StreetHawk]

Not necessarily. The SF 49ers obtained 6 additional 3rd round compensatory picks over 3 drafts from the NFL when minorities in Saleh, Daniels, and another exec were hired by other NFL teams. So, they have 2 comp. thirds in this upcoming draft. With Miami losing their first rounder due to tampering, the comp picks begin at 96 this year. But, I believe these mgmt. comp picks are after all of the regular comp. picks are awarded to teams that lost players in Free Agency.

If he stays healthy and helps the Niners win a Super Bowl, the picks traded will be viewed as a pittance and well worth the price.

But that's a mighty big "if."

A more likely "if" is if he has more injury issues. And if yes, then slam dunk by the Panthers and a hefty overpay by San Francisco.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Not a bad haul, glad he's going to a team that should make the playoffs.

 

[Gecklund]

Only problem is the distributor is less than reliable.

I mean in all honesty Jimmy is one of the best game managers there is. If you just ask him to make these easy(ish) short to medium passes and let his receiver do the work, he’s definitely good enough to do that.

 

[MMC]

As a Rams fan, this is not the position we need to make a big trade for, OL is a much bigger concern

I don't think whatever happens to the Niners should have any bearing on how the Panthers made out. They're go nowhere any which way you look at it.

He needs a good run game. If the opposition is able to shut that down, it puts the emphasis on Jimmy. But between the run game and the short passing game to Deebo, that’s still tough for defences to defend.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

When you consider all the comp 3rds SF has coming up for losing McDaniel, Saleh and Mayhew, this is like just taking on McCaffrey and his contract. You can’t pass up this opportunity from a SF perspective.

Get some Eddie D vibes with a move like this.

Yeah definitely. Between Deebo, CMC, Mitchell on the run and that’s not including Wilson who might not be elite but still pretty good, I have a hard time seeing many teams shutting that down.

Other positions may have been more of a need, but unless the bottom teams had those to sell, this might be the best move that they had to make.

49ers have no reason to be scared of anyone. They can go to the super bowl.

I honestly don’t think any team in the NFC (that makes the playoffs)will be scared of anyone in the NFC. I don’t think any one team in the NFC,is head and shoulders above any of the contenders.

No QB in the nfc given the way they have played so far scares anyone.

Cousins still the knock as a non prime time performer.

Hurts never won a PO game yet.

Brady, how is his personal life situation impacting how his focus as he prepares for games?

Rodgers, will he develop any chemistry with his WR group?

Jimmy is Jimmy. Can he step up if injuries persist with SF and either the run game stalls or the D isn’t as dominant?

Rams, can they protect the QB or run the ball?

Dallas, can they make enough plays offensively to match their D?

This proves they don't have a top 100 pick plus I trust Peter King.

 

[Babe Ruth]

If he stays healthy..
But that's a mighty big "if."

Yeah, a lot of injuries.. but I think that had a lot to do with his heavy workload in Carolina. I haven't really followed San Francisco this year, but maybe he won't be relied on as much there, and be a little more well-preserved (?)
I think it's cool he's back in the Bay Area, but that's a separate thought..

 

[StreetHawk]

This proves they don't have a top 100 pick plus I trust Peter King.

Per nfl.com the projected third round pick compensation for players lost are:

Washington for G Schereff
New England for CB Jackson
Arizona for WR Kirk

These would be for picks 96. 97, 98 (since Miami had to forfeit their first founder for the Brady tampering)

For management & coaching hires SF gets 2, KC gets 1, and Cleveland gets 1.

 

[LightningStorm]

Right now the 49ers are my pick to win their division. CMC brings a whole new element to their offense, plus I believe in their roster more than the Seahawks and Rams.
