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.

    • Brother I hate to tell you but that's a terrible draft. You hit at 51 but the rest is...not good.
    • If you check next year there's 50 mill in cap space, * without this years draft class or next. 5+ should allow this year given its top 51. Next it jumps and you need another 5-10 mill for 27 draft class. Most team like to carry 10 into each season for injuries. It goes fast....... I feel it pains as a "hater" *but* if my fav Panthers team decides BY is thee guy......(just how...)... I feel they should offer that malik Willis contract as the goal and base for a contract.  I believe they feel strong enough to sign these top FA, they are going for it right now........ So that hurts my idea of drafting a starting QB in 27 or even 26....Its hard to reset "going all-in" with a rookie QB learning the NFL game. Hell who knows what QB will be cut after this year too, no one thought Tua or Murray was getting cut before this past season, NO ONE. Watson could be a FA at any point this or next.  Honestly wildcard in this mofo is using the 19th on TY simp, let him learn at his own pace and flip BY for a mid pick or just ride him for the whole 5th year. Now you have a low cap hit young QB that's been learning for 2 years and you got him for the next 3 if he's the guy.....why not!?!?!!?
    • Mike Kaye replying to above post: ”If he plays well next year, they will almost certainly restructure to open up cap and push down the cap number. His contract becomes guaranteed for Year 3 early in Year 2 unless he essentially bombs. I think 3 years, $90 million is the deal, which will almost certainly be reworked if successful. If it doesn’t, pretty notable gamble (let’s not kid glove this).  As with any deal there is nuance.” https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/2033246139026174146?s=46
