Heh. I remember when Joe Staley retired, but we traded for Trent Williams.
And I was like, "Yeah, yeah, so he's good, what's all the hype about? He's no Joe."
Definitely a moment I am not proud of, lol.
I realize that we traded for Trent Williams BECAUSE Staley was retiring and an amazing opportunity became available... but man... if Staley didn't retire, it would've been so sweet to have Trent at LT, Staley at RT, and kick McGlinchey into RG. I would've felt so good about our o-line.
If Big Trent does retire, I do hope ShanaLynch tries to trade for Rashawn Slater in the offseason.
But, personally, I'd like to see ShanaLynch go to the draft more than free agent trades to bolster that 49er OLine. Still, a guy like Rashawn would be worth it if they can get him for a 2nd rounder or lower.
