If Darnold plays poorly next year, we traded what will be a 1st round pick for him.

How does 2nd rounder 1 year out = 1st round pick?  I get the point that if we are the worst team, it will be the 33rd overall pick.  But, there is a time value associated with these picks you know.

Agreed, I really dislike the argument of “it’s basically a first round pick” and then calling a second a first, just because it’s high in the second round. I get draft value, a lot of the prospects around there are similar, but it’s still a second rounder.  That’s why they have different rounds and not just one massive chucklefug round of drafting.  

 

Also a pet peeve, when someone says SF gave up 3 firsts to move up to number 3 overall.  No, they gave up 2 firsts.  They still have a first round pick this year and did not lose 3 total firsts.  That bugs the hell out of me when people talk about trading.  Always used to make a trade sound worse than it is.  Nobody asked but I wanted to vent

Look up the draft value chart for

 

33rd pick + 4th round pick + 6th round pick

 

So yes, yes it is, if Darnold is terrible again.

 

lol... those dont add up to a 1st round pick man.... those dont even add up for a current 2nd round pick.

I didn't want Darnold, but... let's just. let. this. thing. play. out.

Good or bad move, time will tell. As a fan, and person, I'm always optimistic. And if it's a negative, the dawn always follows the darkness, sooner or later.

Be at peace.

If Rivera wasn't so bad at his job, we would've won at least 2 Super Bowls with Cam and Luke. Cam might also still be able to be healthy enough to still be our QB.

And had the 3rd pick in the draft this year.

You realize that if he throws a bad pass in his very first series with us in the preseason, people will be declaring that he's a bust and they knew it and they don't need to see anymore, right?

But they literally did give up three first round picks. Now granted they got a first round pick back, but how else would you possibly word it?

“They gave up two first round picks”

 

Edit:to me, “giving up” means total loss. I guess that’s where the difference is

I don't know what is worse, the low IQ poster or the group that feels the need to argue with the window licker. This entire thread has wasted minutes of my life.

Teddy was mediocre, but a competent game manager with good skill players.  Darnold has bee a complete dumpster fire, and you don't win more than 4 games with him unless he improves tremendously.

 

I think if Darnold improves quite a bit he could get us to 6 wins...possible.
