IF we hadn’t beaten Washington

Reference?

Rhule had mentioned there was a top pick that he had talked to on an elevator ride and said after like a minute he mentally took him off the board because the guy didn’t fit what the team wanted.

Mmm I don't think that was Simmons. Interesting though, I had not heard that.

I think it was. There was a lot of talk about Simmons around that time that kind of matched up with what Rhule had said. Like a bunch of people came out and said “that sounds like Simmons.” Who really knows though.

I get so tired of this, "Should we have tried to win a football game?" f*cking horsesh*t conversation in all its forms.

Yes, yes would should step onto the field trying to win the f*cking game.

That's not really being discussed here.

If we didn’t beat Teddy B and the Saints the year before we definitely draft Justin Herbert. 
 

This year if we didn’t beat Ron we could have been the Dolphins. Third overall and get a monster haul from the 49ers to move back to 12 and gotten a really good player or moved up to 6 like the Dolphins did and grabbed Sewell or Fields or Horn and still had extra picks leftover.

I have seen someone else theorize that it was Simmons as well, but I don't remember who.

Wasn't the moving to 3 inquiry before we got Sam?

Probably well before, from what I've read.

We would have taken the 49ers offer I’d say if we still traded for Darnold

Some people like exercise their brains and analyze what could have happened. Sometimes it helps to build intelligence for use in future scenarios.

Why do you cheer for a team that you do not participate in or have kids playing on? Do you root only for Thor in the Avengers movies? Lots of people like different things, it happens.

You can't do anything for future scenarios. You don't work for the team. Talking about what could have been is a waste of time, as you can't change the past. Let it go and move on with life.

I agree, especially if SF came knocking at our door with 3 firsts and a 3rd.

I mean I guess if we had that kind of deal we might have taken it. Hard to say I mean we did entertain trade downs but it wasn't as low as SF was picking.

but there were repots we talked to the Dolphins some about trading to 3.  If you are going to 3 it is for a QB.

 

For 3rd best, which was still passed over.
