This is going to be fascinating to find out"ProFootballTalk i

s reporting that the San Francisco 49ers are shopping Solomon Thomas Joe Staley Jersey , the third pick in the 2017 draft. This is going to open up Pandora’s box. While this really shouldn’t come as a surprise—as these rumors have been floating around for over a month now—it still is. Many fans are upset as the team has done Thomas zero favors with his two years with the Niners. He probably shouldn’t have been playing outside. Predominantly, anyways. Thomas played 21% of his snaps inside in 2018. Many of those came after Week 12, when he was playing his best football.I’ve seen many people reading this as the 49ers are interested in drafting Quinnen Williams. Other people seem to think it means that the team is expecting to get Nick Bosa. Nobody knows. What I’m interested in is what sort of compensation the team can get for Thomas. You’re not going to get a first or second-round pick. That just isn’t happening. While you can project what Thomas can be, teams aren’t going to give that up for a guy that hasn’t produced. If a team called today and said they are offering a third-round pick, I’d take it. Realistically, Thomas will be traded for something later than that. I know it may not seem right, considering where he was drafted, but that just doesn’t matter two years later. It’s about what Thomas has put on the field. Today is going to be a wild ride. What would you accept in a trade for Thomas, assuming you’re willing to even make a deal.

At first, the Giants weren’t interested at all in Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins. A week later, and it’s “don’t believe the smoke screens. No team has done more homework on Haskins than the Giants.” That would be very good news for the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants own the sixth overall pick. After trading Odell Beckham Jr., they now own the 17th overall pick. I don’t know what the additional compensation would be, but for this let’s just say the 49ers now are sitting at six and 17 after making the trade. This could be exactly what John Lynch was talking about when he mentioned free agency set the team up for the draft. This opens a whole new can of worms that we weren’t expecting to talk about.At six you can all but kiss Quinnen Williams goodbye. You’re likely looking at Rashan Gary out of Michigan https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Mike-Mcglinchey-Jersey , Montez Sweat of Mississippi State, Ed Oliver of Houston, and Brian Burns of Florida State. That’s just the guys on the defensive line that are floating around pick six in mock drafts. Down to 17, and it’s take your pick. Any safety you want will be there. I’m not sure there’s a receiver worth it there. Especially with what Shanahan is capable of. If the team is to pull the trigger on this trade, I’d double down on defense. Whether that’s pass rush, safety, corner, just bring good players to the defense and figure it out later. That extra first might be too tempting to pass up. What do you think?
