This dude better BRING IT.
Sanu went for a 2nd. Anyone kidding themselves about this trade market should've immediately realized that WR's were going for a ton since plenty of teams are desperate for upgrades.
Watch AJ Green get traded for multiple second rounders or even a first.

I don't like it. 3rd and 4th is too steep.

Holy crap....do we have any picks left? 🤷🏽♂️ This shows that our front office believes we can win it now. If we ever were to make it to the Ship and NE is there, I believe Shanny thinks Belicheat will shut us down with our current roster. We'll see if this pays off I guess.

Better have a real framework to lock up all our FA's because now there isn't resources to add cheap players through the draft.
Sure there is. Trade back a couple times and reload on picks. People wanted a receiver but were unrealistic about the going rate as the Sanu deal showed. Carolina, Green Bay and New Orleans were all also reportedly in on Sanders.

Ugh. I know they're expected to be lower picks, but that's a massive amount of draft capital when I look at it from the perspective that this is a 32-year old receiver with an unpredictable amount of fuel left in the tank.

Im completely happy with it! We have the team that can push for a SB and we have only one big hole minus OL depth and thats starting quality WR's. Pettis is starting to come along but we need more! I love it! I will be depressed with a lack of picks at the next draft but knowing the Lombardi is in Santa Clara will be my anti-depressant
The missing link! LFG!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if we have another deal in place to acquire more draft picks. We always seem to jump the gun, then the FO surprises us and we recoup draft picks

That was a unique situation where Baltimore had to dump Boldin to free up capspace and Harbros worked out a deal.
True.
I'm ok with the value of this trade. The picks given up aren't going to damage us long term and Sanders may really help this year.

It was pretty much for a 3rd...our 4th is gonna be a low 4th and their 5th is gonna be high. Swap of like 20 picks or so.

It's really a 3rd round pick. The 4th is really just moving back 5-10 spots.

Lol if Lynch didn't trade for a WR everyone would have been angry. Feel a 3rd should have done it, but apparently not. Teams aren't lining up to give away players for dirt cheap.
This will finally give us and experienced option to take the pressure off of Kittle. Great move, costly, but necessary.

Yikes, a lot to give up for an old receiver on the last year of his deal but I guess we were desperate.
