REPORT: 49ers Interested With Fournette At #2


Saca312

Recommended Posts

The interesting thing about drafted a RB that high is how much he'd be getting paid relative to his position. 

The total value of the #2 pick is approximately $29 million, which is a $7.25 million average.  

That would instantly become the 4th high average contract for a RB with the most in guarantees at signing. He'd have to come out of the gate as the top 5 RB in the league to justify his contract.

Smokescreen is actually pretty possible here and it could very well be targeted directly at us given our comments yesterday. Fournette seems a bit of an odd choice for Shanahan.

 

I don't think that's what's happening granted. I'm just saying.

Possible, I just can't see us trading all the way up to #2. That would probably have to involve next year's 1st and that ain't gonna happen.

I would be very happy with Fournette... but my heart desires Adams, Hooker or an elite DE. So I would actually be happy with this. Seems if this played out AND the Browns took a QB at #1 the we are locked for a future star at DE or safety.

Fournette has been my awesome consolation prize leading up to the draft. I REALLY want Adams, Hooker or Thomas

If they trade Hyde before the draft, then I would be a little worried about this. 

Is that a rumor right now? I was impressed with Hyde. Not an every down guy but seems to me he might compliment Stew fairly well. If we could get him for a 4th or maybe our comp 3rd and focus on DE or safety in the draft, I would be pretty ecstatic.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
