Trading 1st round picks

Ok a little early for draft talk, but came across this:

2022 NFL Draft order: Broncos, Browns inch closer to top 10

The Browns are still alive in the race for the AFC North title, but they're also a step closer to holding a top-10 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft after suffering a second straight loss. Dan Parr and Chase Goodbread provide a look at the updated first-round or

The 49ers, Seahawks, and Rams are all without 1st round picks. The Seahawks pick is currently #7 overall, salt in the wounds. I didn't like either the Rams or Seahawk trades because they weren't for QB's. I iinitially didn't like the 49ers trade either, but at least it was for a QB.

After watching JG this season, more so we can see our mega-trade had logic to it. We still need to see how Lance pans out but we know for sure we wouldn't win the SB with JG. Thats too bad since JG knows our scheme, has solid support from the players, and has "been there done that".

Looks like we have our greatest needs on the D side of the ball. Gotta throw more than late day draft picks at it

The only thing that stings about our Trade so far is that it's very likely at least 1 of the top 5 QB's in the Draft would have fallen to us without trading. Could that have been Trey Lance? Does Fields still fall without us taking Lance at 3? How far would have Jones dropped? There really is no way to know exactly how things would have played out had we not made the trade, but it seems likely at least one of Lance, Fields, or Jones would have available.

but if we stayed at 12 and the Falcons took Lance at 4 maybe a QB doesn't fall to 12. Maybe with teams knowing or thinking we wanted Jones they trade up ahead of us to grab Fields and Jones. If that happened we'd still be without a future QB on the roster.

We gave up way too much for a division 2 QB who is as raw as they come. It was a huge gamble; one that will be hard to overcome. The 49ers roster is in a "win now" situation and yet they give up two more years of #1 picks. It didn't make sense to me and that is why they should have waited and got Jones and given up no first-round picks.

Yep, it appeared that none of these QB's would be available at 12th. We also had to consider other teams trading higher than 12th. So its not a gimmie to say we'd have Mac Jones at 12th.

In the big picture, the logic made sense and it now falls to how Lance does? If Lance pans out REALLY good, the draft capital won't be considered steep.

No givin that Jones fall to 12th without our mega-trade.

I agree that was a LOT to trade away said so right when they announced it. But again, if you look at the big picture - the logic is there.

Yes, the team was built to win now and hence JG is still on the team. Unfortunately, JG didn't have the season we all envisioned. JG did ok but he should've been more consistent this season, better than his 2019 season.
