Why the Niners didn't trade to #2

our 4th is a high one this year, so it seems fair.  Our high 3rd seems too much.

If we have our QB, then that's a draft pick slot filled that we otherwise would have used. Plus, we could either move back in the first or second round to recoup the Darnold pick.

About that...

 

Yeah Darnold is in a tough position for getting moved. I could get behind him if we think we are totally out of the QB drafting market. But I dont think there is a huge improvement from him and Teddy

Honestly I think year 2 Teddy would be better than year 1 Darnold + a pick.

Ryan Tannehill kind of changed the landscape for QBs drafted high that don't pan out initially. It seems more teams are open to reclamation projects at the QB position and acknowledge crappy teams make even decent prospects look crappy.

How many QBs careers have the Jets ruined?  At some point you have to look at the organization instead of the players.  I don't think Darnold is all that and a bag of chips, but he's not horrible either.

Back in October there was a Twitter army trying to convince Trevor to stay a year and avoid NY.

Lucky for him Jax tanked harder than the Jets, although I don't think the Jets were tanking.  Sadly they only won one more game than the Jags actually trying.  Not that going to Jacksonville is much better, BTW.

Just for sheets and giggles...would Minshew's be about the same? Honestly, I might like him more, and he'd be $9M cheaper this year.

Which may be the reason they hold onto him for Trevor's rookie season.

This would have to be a good offer--like a third and a conditional 2022 pick. (speculating, but when I do that, I am never wrong)

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
