Old Guy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) 9ers gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th in 2023 plus a 5th in 2024 for Christian McCaffery. Seems like a lot for a RB who can't seem to stay on the field. If the NFL starting to turn into the NBA where they place little to no value on draft picks? I hope the other 31 teams do except the Packers. Edited October 21, 2022 by Old Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did work for them but it seems that was more of an outlier than the norm. Will be interesting to see which theory works; give up picks for big help now or keep the picks for young and cheap players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they go back to Lance, they've already seen that he's not ready and is going to struggle for a season or 2. Niners have already proven they can go on deep playoff runs with Jimmy G so they are taking their shot. I wouldn't ever give up that much for an often hurt RB, but maybe we should pause on overly criticizing the extremely aggressive moves by Lynch and Snead every year given their playoff records (including 3 SB appearances in the last 4 years) compared to ours, a team that never does anything at the trade deadline...

Two of those appearances were prior to them changing philosophy and giving up all of their draft capital so that actually matters in the discussion. Not to mention the 49ers injury situation currently with so many guys out. To give all of those picks up for an often-injured RB with a whole lot of tread worn off the tires seem desperate to me.

He had a great record, but only made it to the Super Bowl once, where he lost. OTOH, using the opposite approach, GB hasn't done much better. Maybe the road to success runs down the middle?

vegas492 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I don't know...not sure...but....I can see where the 49ers feel like they are that RB away from winning it all. If they are healthy, they have the o-line. They have the defense. They have the weapons at WR and they have a game manager at QB. They didn't give up all that much. Not only will CM3 help the run game, he will also be a great pass option for Garapollo when he wants to revert back to Check Down Jimmy. Also...this could take RB snaps away from Deebo and keep him fresher. So when he gets a carry or two, he's more explosive. Imagine this...Deebo and CM3 in the game at the same time. Christian starts in the back field, then motions out to WR when Deebo comes into the backfield to take his place. Shanny is going to be like a mad scientist scheming stuff for those guys. I think this is a case where it would have been a terrible trade for us to do, but a good trade for the 49ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackFan13 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I envy teams that go for it with a closing window. Niners didn't give up all that much for the potential return on investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Might not take much to win the NFC this year. Move like this could tip it in favor of SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really move the needle a ton? Are two Deebo's better than one? Still have Jimmy G and a vulnerable IOL and secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with that Shanny run system, he's going to be a huge weapon. This moves makes Jimmy G better. His IOL stays the same and so does the secondary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
