A booming price to get the player and Cap mathematics..
I'm totally glad we didn't trade for Adams at this price. My reasons are the same as outlined in this article.
Making sense of why 49ers didn't trade for Jamal Adams
Seattle got a GOOD player no question, but can a SS lift them that much higher? IMO only a QB or pass rusher like Khalil Mack, warrants this kind of draft capital.
Even if those 1st round picks are in the 20's, teams still need those 1st round picks. Without those draft picks other spots on your team will suffer. If Seattle's front 7 isn't good enough, then the SS can only make up so much. If you're depending on your SS to "cover" your front 7, good luck.
I argued with a couple of fans who thought it was a good idea for the 49ers to trade two first round picks for Jalen Ramsey. One predicted the Rams defense would be a top defense with Ramsey. Nothing turned out like predicted. The safety position has been devalued in recent years in picks and contracts. Maybe this all works out but I am glad the 49ers passed. Despite Lynch's denials, I think they probably did look into Adams as was reported but balked at the price tag.
I believe they also traded their starting SS, McDougald in addition to the two first round picks.
Yup...which makes this trade look even more foolish. McDougald ain't J. Adams...but he's above average, and actually pretty good in coverage. When you look at the totality of this trade, Sea got bent over.....and now they are pinned down to 'guarantee' a contract with Adams.
It's kinda funny watching the 'hawks fans try there very best to defend this one.....
49ers Interested in Signing Jadeveon Clowney?
Similar to Jamal Adams (not same), nice to think we can add Clowney to our team. But similar to Adams, there just isn't enough cap space. All of our the remaining cap space should be targetted for Kittle. Getting Kittle extended is the highest priority now. nothing new.
Not to mention next off-season, we'll have a LOT of cap decisions to make as is. We can't add any more big ticket players now, Trent Williams was the last.

To me it all depends on the contract. You can never have too much depth. He certainly wouldn't get the kind of contract he wanted.
No argument on depth but realistically Clowney isn't going to sign a 'cheap' contract. He won't come close to Dion Jordan's number, whatever that is? So yes you can say it depends on the Contract but.....
Our cap situation can't fit anybody 'significant' and is why we're adding Dion Jordan as depth. Nobody is jumping for joy over Jordan, but at the same time we all understand why.
