If tanking is really the goal...

An option that hasn't been considered, if we are truly not concerned about 2020 and want to land Lawrence next year then qb is off the table. We have discussed moving up for Burrow, but what about hitting up the ole ball coach in an attempt to snag Young? It has been report that Washington loves Tua or are at least is considering him. 

That said they probably trying to drum up trade interest but if they are serious I would at least hear them out and consider the price point. Even after that if they do draft Tua or someone else trades up for him I hit up Detroit and see what their asking price is. Chase Young is being far under sold in this draft. And with addison likely walking we dont have a prove 4-3  edge rusher.

Young is probably a more athletic version of the Bosa's before him and after a year or two would probably among the best pass rushers in the NFC. Grabbing him would give us a dominate force for years to come but wouldn't be enough to stop the tank from sinking completely. If the goal is Lawrence for next season it should be quality not quantity we are after this season. 

You dont want get to good to soon, but having a gem of this caliber would be beneficial in the long run... question is what would it cause to get to 2 or 3?

You don't trade up to #2 to take a DE. Only QB's are worth that type of value. No thanks on that.

It's been done for a position of less value. Running backs no less. If The 49ers went from picking second to the super bowl largely on defense off the bosa rookie of the year impact, and made a pro bowl why should you not? It's already known to be the second most important position in football so I dont see your logic. Oh I see you rather trade up for a QB already on injury life support... nevermind.

not sure if serious

https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp  Big difference between 7 and 8. according to the draft table  their pick is worth 2600 ours 1500. one and 2 gets you to 2000 alone. any assortment of next years 2 or some 3rd rounders could easily make up the difference from there. I didnt say it would be cheap. but surely worth a discussion. Yes it would be costly, But what is a top 5 rusher worth for the next 9 or so years? surely worth what we have been getting out of the second and 3rd round.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
