If Jimmy G sucks we gave up a high second rounder, which could have been another D-linemen!!!!
This Sucks!!!!
If Garoppolo indeed becomes a franchise QB, it would be a huge freaking steal!
what 2nd round pick have we hit in awhile, can't remember. So getting JG is already a steal
Well, Niners traded up from that 2nd round pick the last two years for Garnett (we'll see) and Foster (looks good so far when he's healthy)...so kinda hard to judge.
About the only thing that bothers me about this trade is it could preclude them from doing what they've done the last two years and trading back up into the first round for a guy who might be falling (ALA Reuben Foster).
Agreed. You have to take a shot on a QB at some point and clearly management identified JimmyG, a player with a limited but successful resume and the praise of a world class organization, as being a more attractive option than using an early first round pick on one of the QB in this years draft. What they've actually bought is an 8-game audition and the option to extend him if he is what they think he is.
If Jimmy does prove himself to be the man in SF then nothing else matters and it's a great move.
To address your scenario I suppose the 49ers could trade out of the top 5 to accumulate other picks and get a 2nd rounder back anyways. Barkley is great but Shanahan comes from his dad's school of thought and so I doubt he'd even be an option for San Francisco. Perhaps Key or one of the top OT's.
