Certainly didn't hurt Tennessee when they traded down with St Louis. The leverage that exists is multiple teams wanting QB's and there will be several teams needing one. Teams like the Jets, the Cards, Dolphins and several others could be thinking QB and with there looking to be two or three guys worth taking that early, the 49ers could have the supply to fill the demand. I doubt they'd get an RG3 type deal but I'd be perfectly content with a Goff or Wentz type compensation.
I said this in an earlier post, but I agree. The 2nd Rounder we just gave up, we should get it back by trading down. There will be teams wanting to trade up for a QB.
IMO the compensation isn't really the issue. My issue is, that we are now all in with Jimmy for better or worse. Ideally we're not in the position to draft this high again for a long time, so to pass on the opportunity of the pick of the litter on what WAS supposed to be an excellent QB class is a little scary. I just DON'T want to have what happened to the Browns happen to us when they passed on Wentz and the fans our going to have to watch his career flourish for a long time thinking what could have been.
