Only a 2nd rounder..,

Interesting that everyone seems to forget SF traded for a relatively unproven possibly fragile QB whose contract was expiring in 8 games. 8 games before committing to franchise money and guarantees
And BB kept him out of the AFC
 
Now that I think about it, WTF is up with the Cardinals getting young star players on the cheap?
Cardinals will be a fun team to watch, much like Tampa.
For Arizona, an agile midget throwing to $27 mill worth of star WRs ($16 + $11). I’ll be watching

They're a terrible team, so their draft picks are more valuable.
 
Six quarters of pro football (plus all the preseason games and observed practice play) is much more telling than a college QB with zero experience at the pro level.

Yes but other teams won’t see his practice time so they wouldn’t have that to go on.
 
DeAndre Hopkins (roughly a 2nd), Darius Slay (3rd+5th), and Trent Williams (no trade interest at all) are three current examples of how contract situation affects trade value just as much as the quality of the player. Not a whole lot different than Jimmy, except that he was actually close to being a free agent and not just a holdout candidate.

Yes, the cap implications get ignored completely. Effectively, if a team were to trade a 7th rounder for Trent Williams, they'd be trading the draft pick plus the cap dollars to Washington. The money moves with the player. Washington has $XX more salary to spend, and the team that acquired Williams effectively supplied it. That money is worth more than the player, which is why a trade hasn't happened.
 
It is trendy to rag on Jimmy G. But if you look at players as assets, the Patriots had two franchise quarterbacks and their net haul was a 2nd round pick... questionable GM work.

No! You put that down right now! It's done!

That's because you would be a cold hearted GM, whereas BB more sensitive to his staff sent him to SF where he would have an opportunity to thrive as opposed to the Cleveland graveyard.

We won a couple super bowls since Jimmy G became a 49er.

We will be ok.....

Don’t worry about us as long as we have the hoodie.
