NFL Tradewinds & FA News

I don’t think we give up anything for anyone in FA. I think the plan is another OL, WR, DE, and a few more depth pieces in FA than WR and DE in the 2nd. We have the cash to shop around in FA, no need to be trading draft picks away

That's the point, There was talent at #39 and we simply picked the wrong guy.  This isn't like QB, once the top few are gone is a total crap shoot.  You can get solid, REALLY solid WRs into the 3rd round.  Beyond that if you are lucky.  I wanted Rashee Rice over Mingo.  Tank Dell had a great year and was drafted after Mingo.

We drafted Bryce Young and Jonathan Mingo. The Texans drafted CJ Stroud and Tank Dell.

It is possible that they traded Burns knowing they would use the resources to get Higgins?  It seems as if they are going to give Bryce the best protection and a very solid set of WRs.  Higgins is a #1 X, Thielen is a slot, Mingo is the Z for now.   I think Tremble and Thomas will be the TEs, but there could be a draft pick (Wiley, maybe) or a large WR converted to TE (Claypool, for example). 

Can the defense survive without burns, Jackson, and Luvu?  I think it can if the offense is strong.  We can find 10 sacks, we get Thompson back, and Jackson was hurt a lot anyway.

And I realize that I could bitch about how bad things are, but we have seen the first day of free agency--I am ready to move on and see what we can do.

Higgins isn't even a #1 WR. He's a star #2. He's not even in the top 20.

Hard to say with Chase there-but I am also worried that he will not be as good here because Chase was getting the best CBs and S help a lot.  Here there is no Burrow.  So should he be expected to improve as the X?  Yikes--to your point.

I’d be willing to give up a lot for Aiyuk but they ain’t trading him

[TheSpecialJuan]

WR Russell Gage is a UFA Canales had him last year at Tampa - look for him as a possibility

Anyone surprised to see Chase Young available??? I admit that I didn't follow the 49ers last season except in postseason so what happened to him??? 

[Panthro]

Higgins is a monster

 flip a 2nd for him and lfg

He is a jag that was overdrafted and has no drive to be better.

Higgins lit it up when Chase was inactive if I remember correctly

Genuinely, why?

We're not a superstar player away from contention. Especially not at WR - we saw how much good McCaffrey did. 

Build the fuging roster.
