They can suck one. A 4th and eating part of the contract, blow me.

Yeah, I think a lot of our fans are getting waaaaay too high on this WR corps. Until proven otherwise, AT is genuinely the best WR on this team by a fairly significant margin. We don't have to trade him and it doesn't help our roster in 2025 to do so. So the 4th round pick isn't very valuable. If this WAS a deep and proven WR corps, you jump all over that 4th in a heartbeat.

I don't think it's overvaluing. He isn't a 4th rounder value either. It's just that we don't have to trade him and the return(a 4th) is never going to factor into a future player here. A 3rd might. A 2nd should. The difference is that he is actually a real contributor here and also our best returning WR. That might be difficult to replace for 2025.

I don't know if that is actually true. I am guessing those are not part of the equation but perhaps more meaningful reps for guys like XL and Coker are.

Well he is likely in the last season or two of his career. Obtaining a 3rd round pick(or higher) that could be used for a young two deep player would be wise in the long term. I would bristle if it was a 4th or lower just because you are likely talking about a non-contributor in the long term versus a value guy in the short term. We do have to keep in mind that AT is a very old, valuable player on a bad team. He isn't going to continue to be effective by the time this team gets good.

Eh....maybe 2 or 3 I disagree with but that is about it. I suspect the cuts are gonna be fairly predictable

I see, this is a hypothetical. Yeah, I mean I do agree with that. Why not ask high? We don't need to trade him.

AT has been very good for us, he may well be this season. The idea of him being worth a 3rd round pick in trade value is lightspeed insane.

Nah. Just wanted a temp check on the Huddle patrons after a hopeful offseason and tough preseason.

Interesting that this is almost 50/50 0-5 and 6-10.

That's completely insane in the context of what this franchise is.

100%

Notice that most of those wunderkind HC's have actively avoided him.

I mean, he has been nothing but impatient with attempts at splash moves. Players, GM's, coaches. He wants desperately to be seen as a genius.

Yeah. I think so too, especially after handing out yet another massive contract in the offseason.

I think they just like their options at RB and clearly weren't ready to hand him a big contract. Now for the 49ers....I have no idea what their plan is. They already have a massive amount invested in that position.

The price to trade for him, would likely completely bankrupt our future draft assets. I would have been all for a Hendrickson or Parsons trade in maybe 2017 or 2018. But this team is so far from being good and needs SO much help to build, those draft picks are almost priceless. Let's not forget the insane cost it took to get Bryce and how much that harmed our drafting ability.

Yeah, not sure about that unless we really have a dominant offense, especially running game. If not.....then what was it worth?

Both of those are what I am deathly afraid of. I am very concerned they are going to sell out the next 2-3 years for one guy.

I don't think trading 6-7 starters a few days before Game 1 would be anything but a sure sign of tanking. I get the thought process but almost none of those starting guys has a replacement on the roster nor really any hope of finding one. The rest of them aren't worth fug all in a trade.

I agree. I see all the talk of Renfrow but it has been Coker that has earned the PT all offseason long.

Yeah, I am pretty concerned we might attempt something really stupid. The last thing we need, bad roster or not, is another future nuking move.

I am gonna push back on this "loaded" notion. There are some potentially nice pieces here but I don't think "loaded" is a word many in the NFL would use about us. Could it be? Maybe.
