Literally all but 1 pick made the roster this year. Don't listen to Cowherd. He's a moron.

That's kind of twisting things to make the draft picks given up seem less important. Obviously the skill positions will be hard to crack as a rookie, but there's always a chance to upgrade depth whether it's OL, DB, or DL with those draft picks. Not having those picks will hurt but if CMC is a stud on the field then it's all worth it.

In the last two drafts we've picked 11 players in rounds 2-5 and Huf is the only one who isn't a backup-level player. Maybe Drake Jackson too... eventually.

What about Aaron Banks?

IMO Banks is a backup-level player that we have starting. He wouldn't start over Tomlinson.
But I'd be happy to be wrong about that one day.

Either way, point is that vast majority of 2nd to 5th rounders are backups so giving up 3-4 for CMC is a steal.

You do know that Banks has been a better run blocker as well as a better pass blocker than Tomlinson this season, right?

I am not arguing your second point as I agree with you. The draft is a crap shoot and we now have a proven commodity.

I just think that Banks has been getting an unfair shake just because he sat his rookie season. He has actually played well, especially as a pass protector.

Yes, I'm very aware of that. 6 games just isn't enough for me. Kyle's routinely gotten amazing play out of replacement level offensive lineman for relatively short stretches. Brunskill and Compton regularly have stretches of great play that you wouldn't expect from someone of their salary level.

For example, if Brunskill got paid just on his performance during Rams games he'd be one of the highest paid offensive lineman in the league.

Is the running back bringing a center and a guard with him?

Center is the real issue. We need a starting caliber DB. We need depth at DT with AA/Kin basically out for multiple weeks.

Here's the current base salaries the #49ers inherit on McCaffrey contract. Note: NONE of his remaining money is guaranteed, could open the door for a re-do or new deal depending on how this year goes:

2022: ~$670k
2023: $11.8 million
2024: $11.8 million
2025: $12 million

Wow, that's sweet

I'm on my 12th hour of work right now so i may be dumb at the moment but is he the biggest name we've ever traded for? Like trading for a player, not the draft pick to choose the player

And for a player that is currently elite. Mccaffrey is currently arguably the best back in football when healthy

Lets say we sign him next year for a "team friendly" $8m. Who do we cut loose?

It would be a restructure which will basically be converting cash into a signing bonus to give him GTD cash and letting SF prorate it.

who do you have to cut loose? I'm not following…there's guys who can also get restructured to lower the cap like Fred. Armstead can have cash moved around. Extending Bosa could lower his cap hit in 2023 as well.
