CMC
Mitchell

Mason

I'd keep Mitchell but if the price is right i'd be willing to trade anyone!!! Trading Wilson for a 5th or 6th rounder seems the most logical choice.

None of those guys have much of any trade value except maybe Mitchell and Wilson. And like you said they should keep Mitchell. CMC is prone to get hurt and I'd like to have Mithcell on deck. Really they need to split time

Who on this team isn't prone to injury? Seems like every starter has been injured at one time or another.

We get multiple minorities hired to other teams front offices, reap the draft picks, use that extra leverage to trade for a white RB.

Is that a problem?

trading multiple picks for a RB? Seriously? If we were a SB contender this year, I would somehow get it...

Yeah. I'm not a fan of the trade either.

I think he's played a total of 10 games over the past two seasons and now he'll be playing for a team where no RB seems to be able to stay healthy.

What could possibly go wrong.

All about risk v reward and diagnosing what the real challenges we had on offense trying to beat bad teams. One could argue that we needed a greater level of execution to free up Wilson vs CMC in the running game similarly to the difference between Mitchell and Wilson. Asking Deebo to be that player Mostert or what Mitchell was drew too much attention. I understand the move, but I still think it's execution and the offense-focused HC has to get his players to execute on offense.

Maybe Shanny feels like this buys him more time for his guys - particularly newer players on the OL and just the O in general reps to get in football shape. If last season is a good template, the lightbulb took a bit of time to come on and we had a similar record at this point in the season. CMCs speed and vision does make OZ way more effective and puts immediate pressure on defenders in the same way Mostert's speed and vision did. Again execution and risk of injury have to be considered given this team's history of not being able to keep its better players healthy enough to finish seasons.

Yeah it's football but I'd rather have the team take less of a risk and a lower price with picks we will need if this all doesn't work out into a SB appearance. We're banking the season on Jason Verret, Jake Brendel and CMC. John and Kyle have some monster balls because that's a huge, huge bet.

Every year it takes Kyle 6 to 8 weeks to figure out how the league has evolved to stop what he was doing last year.

I hope that's the case .

One bad thing about it. This team gives away draft picks like candy to kids at Halloween. We don't have a decent draft class until 2024 or 2025.

This move makes sense, best pass catching running back since Roger Craig and Ricky Watters.

Ok, but I thought people wanted us to go all-in, ala the Rams?
