Whoa! Blockbuster Trade!

lots of movement a month before the draft,  I have to wonder if this is all setting up for something even bigger prior to the actual draft.

Pandemonium!

Fins GM must’ve watched Draft Day last night. Wild stuff.

49ers-Dolphins...Kyle Shanahan trying to control his own fate. You trade up to 3 for a QB who is NFL-ready right now, not a project. And to me that says Mac Jones.

Wow, that's crazy...Mac is skyrocketing 

Mac showed more growth in one year than any college QB I can remember, but I still wouldn't give three 1sts (and a third) for him.

Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, he may turn out to be one helluva player, but something about him screams overrated to me. I dunno, maybe I'm devaluing him a lot based on playing for a loaded team.

#12 to #3  Cost  a 2021 #12 and a 3rd

plus a 1st in 2022 and 2023.

The cost of the Vikings to go from #14 to #4 or #5 would have to be somewhere in that neighborhood.

With no 2nd rounder Minnesota needs to trade down instead of up IMHO>

How in the world do you do this without knowing who is going to be "your guy" at #3?  I guess unless you know who the Jets are going with.

Now

@MoveTheSticks is mentioning that Mac Jones shouldn't be ruled out as a potential fit for SF at #3.

Heard it live. Still can't believe it. 

Well...they do say he's the next Kirk Cousins...

Mac is a viable prospect and has the ability to be a top flight NFL QB, but there is risk inherent in every player. Maybe I just would prefer not to trade a sizable portion of the future for that risk however small. Don't think I could stand my head exploding again like the day of the Walker trade (or the Ponder pick).

Jets HC was the Niners DC last year. Extremely good chance the Niners know who the Jets are taking.

You don't, unless you've identified three QB's you'd be happy with. My guess those three are Lawrence, Wilson and Jones.

I think 3 is Lance.

As much as I have been advocating for the Vikes to move up to around #5 and have a shot at Wilson if he dropped that is way too much to give up to get to 5.  Now I can get off my sales pitch about moving up for a QB.  I am now a strong advocate to moving down from 14 to possibly get back a second rounder.  We could get 2 really nice players in the mid/late first (with move down) and then a later 2nd rounder.  A lot of excellent Tackles will be there in the late round 1 an early 2nd.  A lot of really high potential DE in the 3-5 rounds.  CB/S is pretty deep.  Guard class looks awful, of course.  I like a couple middle round LB'ers.  I'm thinking our interior DL is fairly set (Atkins it is set) so maybe nothing or a late round flier??
