If the Niners aren't moving Garappolo with multiple suitors, that points even stronger toward taking a Trey Lance or Justin Fields instead of Mac Jones IMO. After Shanny's drooling over the read option yesterday and now this talk about Garappolo not being traded despite multiple suitors, I'll honestly be surprised if they pick Jones. Seems like they're interested in keeping Garappolo as a wet nurse and IMO, that points toward Trey Lance. The talk was that they were trying to decide between Lance and Jones and of the major QB prospects, Lance is most in need of a redshirt year.

Albert Breer has called the Detroit Lions the team "most motivated to move down". That could definitely have implications for us.

Also been reported that the Falcons have had a lot of offers for the number four but the general belief seems to be that they'll stay there and either draft Kyle Pitts or a quarterback.

I agree, everyone is eating up the Mac Jones rumors. From the time they started I was convinced SF was spreading them to confuse the NYJ into taking Mac and giving SF the their choice of Wilson, Fields or Lance.

The Pats, in particular Hoodie, have been interested in Garoppolo since about 2 days after the traded him to San Fran.  The 49ers are well aware of that. 

It also depends on how sold the 49ers are that Fields, Lance, or Jones can start and win on day one or day 21.  They are in a win-now situation, so pushing all the chips into the center of the table on somebody who has not yet stepped on an NFL field is probably not a risk they want to take.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
