When you consider the players that are not here because of Trey and CMC, then add in what the players would have cost for the picks....it just about pays for CMC.
They added one of the biggest and most expensive impact RBs in the entire league and stayed just about cap neutral for a handful of gambles.
To me that is a win
Trey is not ideal at 10m....no doubt about it, but no one knew Purdy was going to show up....so yeah they swung for a Franchise QB.
All I am saying Is I like the idea of not paying millions on a gamble....so if an opportunity arises to trade away expensive gambles, and the team is already stacked like the 49ers are....do it....trade the high picks every single time.
You're going thru logic pretzels here.. TL is not cheaper than picks 12,29,29.. he just isn't, not on a per player basis, whatsoever. 3 for $13.9m is a better deal than 1 for $10.8m. It was a fun idea, and I had some interest in exploring it, so I will thank you for that.
To me 10.8 is very cheap for a QB in the NFL. Good ones run you up to 30m per year, great ones $50m. 10m is backup money and he may very well be our starter. I am convinced that rook contracts are cheap and a sweet deal for NFL teams, you don't really save money by trading out your picks, as you have to fill those roster spots somehow, and FAs who are beyond scrub level are not cheap.
To each their own....no biggy
On this team with as much talent as they have....I would have gone for the home run hit on CMC....
I would take
Trey and CMC at 23 million
Vs
QB Suddfield(2m), RB Wilson(1m), Sermon (1m), 12th (5.4,), 29th (3.9), 29th (4m), 2nd (est 1.7m), 3rd (est 1.6), 4th (est 900k), 5th (est 800k) at @ 20 million
Wilson and Sermon are actually a little higher then that...but trying to keep the math simple (for my sake).
Of course it is not really 23 vs 20. The team still has to carry a full roster. So they need to add 8 more players at 600k-ish each. So it is really 4.8 million added in roster additions.
So really 28 million vs @ 21m.
I get both sides of it....but I would absolutely go Trey and CMC...
Actually If we are wishing something into existence.... I would go Purdy-Brian Burns-CMC plus 8 cheap players at 30 million vs the 21m for the draft picks and players replaced.
