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

Gotta go hard in the paint when you have a window. Sometimes it's only one year. Super Bowl aspirations

I'm sure they were bidding against other teams.

Kyle has been in love with this dude since he came to SF. I'm glad he's finally going to have him for however long he keeps playing lol.

We needed a wr but 3rd and 4th for 32 year old. Is just insane. Still amateur hour in san fran front office.

Nah sus 49ers are 6-0 gotta keep the ball rolling, draft picks won't help RIGHT NOW.

They traded what likely(hopefully) will be late 3rd and 4th rounders for a savvy veteran receiver and an early 5th. Trading back a few times can help recoup those picks.

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

If he signs elsewhere, don't we get a decent comp pick depending on the contract? So really it's not as bad as originally thought.

Champions**t

Lol the Patriots gave up a 2nd for a 30 year old possession receiver. Fans always have these ridiculous expectations that other teams will just give away quality players.

Lynch got a starter out of the 2020 2nd round pick in Dee Ford
And got a starter with the 2020 3rd round pick in Sanders.
With the scouts ability to find gems in the undrafted class, these are smart moves. Win now mode. And only the 2020 draft is affected by these moves.
People are acting like we have a bunch of holes to fill lol

Does anybody know if we are getting any comp picks this year?

There you go. To all saying our receiving core is fine, the same coaching staff who you say agrees clearly did not.

Hes gonna be the Uncle Sherm of our Wr group.

Love it! minus the fact we won't have a picks in rds 2-4

I'm so glad lynch is the general manager because guess what...... we all know wide receiver was the biggest weakness of this team and he is perfect for the short passing game. He can also go deep and he actually catches the ball. Well worth it and this is what we needed

He's instantly our best receiver. I like our other guys, but they are all hope and potential still right now. People who feel otherwise: sorry, but you are affected by your proximity bias to this team. You see people flash in the preseason, make a few plays in regular season games, and you're willing to ignore what the non-biased eye test says, which is that this position is a huge problem on our team, and that our guys just cannot establish themselves yet.

I know it may not completely work out with Sanders, but I'm not overly distressed about the trade terms, and if they think we can be a championship team this year, this is a move you make.

man people on here b***h a lot...barring a collapse it is a late 3rd and a late 4th with an early 5th coming back. Plus if Sanders leaves he factors into a comp pick which could be a 3rd...the picks could end up being a wash
