"I'll be shocked if it's not Mac Jones to 49ers."

I keep seeing this line of "draft a QB and they can learn under x"...

That's a toxic dynamic waiting to happen. Favre-Rodgers, Montana-Young, Brady-Garoppolo...this is not ideal. We just saw that this season with Rodgers-Love.

Goff can still play--and is expensive. Ryan can still play--and is expensive, and will likely play many more years like Brady, Brees, Ben, etc. DET and ATL drafting QBs is a disaster waiting to happen.

Maybe I a reading it wrong but Goff has a dead cap hit of 30 mil for 2022

If you cut him and designate him as a post June 1 cut, his dead cap is halved and charged over the current season, and the next.

He would still count for the 30M, but it would be 15M in 22 and 15M in 23...effectively "saving" them 15M on the 22 cap.

Yeah, I'm sure the Niners and Packers deeply regret setting themselves up to have back to back elite franchise QBs.

That means one form Sewell, Lance, or fields will be at 8th. 

Source - Maths..

@Verge I don't have a good match for Detroit Lions, what's your guess? 1-6 seems sort of set, minor issues, but mainly set. My guess is WR, mainly cause I know Miami wants a WR and they move ahead of them. Sewell seems to be falling too, I'm losing my mind.... 

If I'm Detroit, I'm waiting till draft day and if there is a QB still available then I'm on the phone with Carolina, Denver, Chicago, Washington asking who wants to make sure they get this guy? Detroit is in full rebuild so the more picks they can get is better than any one player they can get in my opinion.

Follow the money.

If a big armed, athletic, but raw QB were to fall to them, they have Goff as the starter for this year.  Rookie gets to learn under Goff, not be rushed to the field, and next season DET can keep or cut Goff depending on how he plays.  He costs them the same if he's on the roster or not after this season.

They could absolutely be in the game for a "project", and it would be damn smart to be honest.  They aren't winning that division for a couple years either way, may as well plan for the future and build it correctly.

Thats one school of thought I suppose.  Another is like I said - sticking with Goff and drafting Sewell/Slater or Smith/Waddle/Chase/Pitts.

There is a reason that the Rams traded Goff...he's good, not great.

If they want to keep their jobs for longer than the previous staff there, they may want to look at getting cheaper at the QB position, and getting better long term.  If Fields is there, I'll be a little shocked if they don't pull the trigger, or trade back a couple spots.

However, The 49ers didn't draft Young. He was brought in to be the back up and just ended up being good n Walsh's system. Before that he was considered a bust. The Montana-Young part shouldn't have been included in the original statement as it was a different thing.

Yeah, im with you on that point.  But that 30 million of dead money (whether its 15/15 post June 1, or 30 in one lump) is a big deal.  I guess we dont have long to find out!  I would imagine if any of the top QBs are on the board still when their pick comes up, they will be getting calls from a lot of teams to trade.

Right - he was a Creamsickle Tampa Bay Buc originally.

It may be toxic but you have to look at the reality around you. After 2 years Ryan is likely going to be a cap casualty. Father time is not on his side. You have the opportunity to get your franchise guy. You take it. Ryan isn't stupid. He knows he can't play forever and he will understand a business decision. It doesn't mean he'll like it, but these guys know they can get cut at any point. That's why they go for so much guaranteed money. It's the only guarantee they truly have. How long can you realistically expect Ryan to continue before noticeable decline? Are you willing to put your GM future at risk for him?

Also, these are new coaches. They don't have any predetermined loyalties to Goff or Ryan. They may not be their guys. It's much easier to recover from a single bad 1st round pick. And there is no other position that is as important as QB. Teams are recognizing more and more the value of a rookie QB on a rookie deal. There's a lot that can be done with your salary cap when you have a young QB on his rookie deal years 3-5. That's likely 30-40m a year, depending on how QB salaries continue to rise, to go out and get play makers. You can get some key filler guys with that kind of scratch. 

I'm not saying Atlanta or Detroit will draft a QB, but I don't think it's completely out of the question because Ryan and Goff have big money deals. There's a lot of things at play in this decision. If I were the coach or GM I would definitely be considering it, Detroit especially. Goff isn't my ride or die QB choice if it came to job security. Same with Atlanta. Or as GM do you use a single pick at the most important position in football to possibly solidify your franchise for the next 10 years? 

My personal thought. I'm using a single pick and taking a QB (if they are my guy) and taking care of my franchise and my job.

Word is they love Lance though. If the Niners take Jones leaving Fields and Lance both available, I think they go Lance knowing he'll have a year and if needed two to sit and develop behind Ryan. Sure, Ryan won't be pleased but this is how it goes in the NFL when you're in your late 30s. The team has to start preparing for their future. And maybe it creates a Rodgers type situation where looking over his shoulder spurs another MVP caliber season.

If they like Lance better, then the better for us. We make the move to 5 and take Fields. While Gettleman was an egotistical asshole, the one thing I did like about him was his personnel decisions were for the most part emotionless and what he believed was the best course for the franchise. I see the new guys for Atl and Det doing the same.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
