Yeah and if you're picking #2 and not planning to trade it what's the worst that could happen if who you're picking gets out? Someone gives the farm away to Jacksonville for the #1 pick and they take your guy and you have to settle for the consensus best qb in the draft as compensation? Hardly seems like the end of the world.

Right? Plus I think the chances Jacksonville trades out of #1 are as close to 0 as can be, aside from a truly epic mistake by some other GM giving up more draft capital than we've ever seen, basically.

You have to imagine the Jets are at a minimum listening to offers since every team, besides Jacksonville, showed up for Wilson's pro day. The amount the 49'ers paid for #3 sets the stage for some serious crazy shit to go down for that #2 spot should the Jets go that way.

But if they trade out, that means they're sticking with Darnold. I read some tweets a couple weeks ago when supposed Darnold trade rumors were hot that his value as still a potential starter to a lot of fans/outsiders isn't how he is viewed among coaches/coordinators around the league (they think he sucks). Maybe the Jets think differently, but it's tougher with a new coach who might want his own guy/fresh start.

I'm really curious what the Niners will do with Jimmy G now. They're saying they plan to keep him which seems crazy considering his salary but maybe they're hoping to do an Alex Smith/Patrick Mahomes type scenario where the new kid sits for a year or at least a few games. If Jimmy starts off the season and has a few good games before the kid takes over it might actually increase his trade value. On the other hand, that's a lot of cash to spend on a guy who's not starting and if he doesn't start the season looking good they might not get much in trade. I'd like to think that they could get more for him right now than the 2nd round pick they spent for him but I really don't know. If they could use him to get one of those first rounders that they just spent back that would be ideal.
You took giovanni carmazi(sp?) 3 rounds before brady (who is from the bay area) in 2000.

We can avatar bet on if any of the top 3 QBs make it to pick #12? I mean, good QBs drop all the time, that's exactly why people don't ever trade up in the....OHHHH.

Hard to really evaluate Darnold when his head coach was a complete failure of epic proportions. I see the case for both moves, just glad it's not me having to make it. Douglas and Saleh certainly need to be on the same page with this decision tho

Garcia had four pro bowl seasons, four more than Jimmy g will ever have.
