Claypool - Lots of trade talk today

[Steeldrama]

The 49ers are the epitome of the modern fragile football team
McCaffery will fit right in

[fractalsteel]

49ers traded a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th for Christian McCaffrey.

Carolina fleeced them for a RB that might play 8 games a year

Yup, desperation.
I'm hoping we don't fall into that kind of trap this year.

You could package that to move up into the first round. Or you could find a few players and maybe a few starters.

The #Steelers are asking for a Christian McCaffrey-like return for WR Chase Claypool, who has been connected to the #Packers in trade rumors.https://t.co/jFndk0VRXe

I would trade him for the same package

While I agree that McCaffrey is fragile, he also likely makes the 49ers, along with the Eagles, the favorites in the NFC.

Don't be surprised if the Niners are in the Super Bowl this year.

Injured McCaffrey >> Najee Harris

How do those trade talks go?

Omar Khan: "Listen, I know his numbers haven't been very good the last 2 years....But look at our OC. Look at our QB's. Look at our offense....I'm telling you, in GB he's an All Pro"

Hell yeah but is there a GM dumb enough to give us that?

[langer]

"We let him have a good game, I mean, he had a good game, and with Mitch Trubisky! Please, that means something right? Look at his body, look at his abs, he is probably in better shape than McCaffery, he is a greek adonis. Look at his arms, he is BEYOND perfect! He is justifiably in love with himself!!! Comparing him to McCaffery is like comparing ice cream to horse manure!!! He is literally from another galaxy!!!"

Not that this means anything but….

Will someone give up their entire draft for Chase. He might be the next Rickey Williams.

[Texas Steel]

Saw somewhere that the Steelers were asking for a 2nd, two 3rds, and a 5th for him.

Let's see who's desperate enough to bid.

[Thrillsseeker]

I’d settle for a 2nd and a 3rd.

Holy hell…I’d drive him to Wisconsin and drop him at the front door of Lambeau Field!

Keep the corps intact and hope for a 2020 Claypool next year? Or take the trade?

This is the million dollar question with several offensive pieces.

Can one even evaluate talent properly and completely with this Canada offense?

Pretty sure the answer is no. And I think you have to wonder about evaluating the coaches under Canada too.

I think we have a good line coach now.

WR and RB coaches probably need to move on with life’s work.

Losing Austin for the season makes moving Claypool even less likely, imo. Team's need at least 4 legitimate down field receiving threats. Pat, DJ and Pickens all sound more appealing by keeping Chase in the mix.

Not this year, this decade.

Neither scenario is likely but MT has a history of trading a premium pick for a player mid season when the season looks lost. Hmm, the elbow year.
