BB typically moves a guy with a season or two left in him. SF 49ers John Lynch and BB have done business in the past and It appears they respect each other. 49ers draft slot in rounds is @ 12.
Trade Gilmore for picks that will help NE win this season. Take Pat Surtain Jr. at # 15 if he really is as good as billed. Saban can confirm. Youre quite possibly getting a Revis/ Ty Law type CB at the front of his career on a cheap rookie 4 year deal. Depending on how much he wants maybe you can keep Thuney. Its win - win to move Gilmore.
