Random FF Thoughts

It makes sense to me. The future, in my experience, tends to become the present at some point.

The Packers are probably pretty happy they spent a first on Jordan Love even though he sat for two years.

My only thought is the Falcons could have traded down several slots and still gotten Penix.

(And I will continue to register my disappointment that the Bears didn't trade down for Penix, when they could have gotten a king's ransom and also what I think will turn out to be a more solid all-around QB and a good fit for the windy city. Not a Bears fan especially; I just think it would have been good for the NFL.)

There is a huge difference between a top 10 pick and a mid to late first rounder.

Does Brock Purdy or Tom Brady feel the same? Maybe from a "potential" aspect. But "reality" is, well, real.

And i'll double down on my view of Aiyuk. Its a good argument that WR are getting paid, and there may be nothing out of the ordinary that he wants to cash in. Look Aiyuk is gonna get a pay raise based on his contract.

But how many vets want to be on a championship team? He is on one. The 49ers do not need Aiyuk to win - think Shanny proved that he could rotate just about anyone in there.

Just doesnt seem like a "team" guy. Call me a prude.

According to the NFL trade value chart purportedly used by GMs (NFL Draft Trade Value Chart – WalterFootball), the top 3 are the real value. The value drop from #3 to #4 is bigger than the value drop from #8 to #15.

He's a difference maker that the Niners have failed to unleash!
