everything is subterfuge up to the draft.

every move has another move attached to it + battle plans in case the sand shifts.

If we dont get Wilson this trade was a massive mistake.

Not if Shanahan feels that Fields can be just as good.

Guys, do you honestly believe we just re-signed all these vets to win now, and were just going to dump Jimmy and draft a rookie? Common sense. Jimmy is the QB this year.

This is my thinking also. Any other non-qb prospect worth the 3rd

No chance. Not this year

It just seems too coincidental that this happened the same day as BYU's pro day...

As others have been saying, maybe the Jets have already locked in on a prospect and Saleh gave Shanahan the heads up.

This must be that case, assuring that the guy Kyle wants will be there at #3. We know Saleh got love for Kyle and would have no problem filling Kyle in on the Jets' plan.

Is that legal? 🤔
maybe 2/3 swap now coming with the Jets?? Its gotta be Wilson

Saleh HAS to be giving John and Kyle some sort of information on who they're picking. Otherwise this is insanely risky for how much compensation we gave up to get a quarterback that we're not sure is there. I can't imagine that John and Kyle have the top three quarterbacks all rated that high. And I really hope it's not for Fields.

What if the Jets trade out of #2. If they are not looking for a QB, they have a ton of holes to fill. Does Saleh immediately become a traitor?

Great question to consider. Could it be the 49ers know the Jets are 100% keeping Darnold? I mean rumors had it that we were interested and there was a lot of smoke for there to not to be **any** fire there.

This would be beyond surprising. If that would be the case, I'd make the deal w/ the 49ers (for what they just gave up to the Dolphins)

lol

haha - what overrated DL is at stanford for this pick?
You guys think that they know the Jets are gonna pass on Wilson and roll with Darnold? Hence prompting them to trade to #3 to get Wilson?
Well you can't say they don't take big swings any more

It isn't the worst idea....they are more than a QB away from contention. I am not high on Darnold, but I don't think putting priortiy on the trenches before you bring another kid in to ruin is a career sinking move.

They already took Becton last year who looked like a franchise LT as a rookie. Taking another tackle at #3 would be redundant when you can find high quality tackle prospects throughout the first three rounds of this draft.

for what the 49ers just gave up to get there, wouldn't they just have traded w/ the Jets directly?

It won't be Wilson - he's going #2.

I could see us giving up another 3rd and swap with the jets to get the 2nd pick

Was thinking this too
If they are willing to give up all that, the should've went after Watson. I mean 2 first rounds and a 3rd for a qb that could be a massive flop or 3 first round picks for a proven playmaker.... To hell with that smear campaign they trying to run in Houston right now ..... JMO
